CEL - Deckplate Mod correlation.

so, when I uncap my deck plate mod, my CEL light goes away, when I cover the opening, the CEL light comes back on. It's raining and I have decided to put it back on. what is the best wayto fix this? Should I try resetting the ECU by pulling the EFI fuse?

Go to your local Autozone and see what code it's pulling. I'd have to guess some sort of lean/rich fuel code.
