Intermittent Check Engine Light
Check engine light comes on and stays on until engine shut down. Restart and it comes back sometimes but not all of the time. NO Codes when I use a hand scanner. Thoughts?

Did you ever tried to read the codes when the CEL is on ? What kind of reader are you using (not that i'm an expert).

You'll have to look up the code but the only thing that comes to mind with a CEL at startup would be the intake. Did you check that everything is connected properly ?

Was the intake recently installed ? That could explain it I remember my N54 had a CEL a few times after installing the intakes.

guarentee its intake related. Even if its stock, sometimes if you rev it a bunch you can get it, or just randomly get it. Probably worth spraying some cleaner on the sensors.

Without the actual codes I would blame the intake ! I remember N20 beeing more sensible to intakes than some other models.

intake
I did install the Dinan intercooler after the intake. I'll check to ensure nothing was disturbed during the install.
