engine light on, need help

heres the deal,
I reflashed my ECU because I sorta thought I should do that from time to time...

used tuneboy many times, never a problem, reloaded the same tune, packed up the lap top and headed out for Daytona... funny thing is teh check engine light was one when I fired up and pulled out..

My thought at the time was that after a few cycles it woudl go out ( again I heard of the ligth comming on after messing with stuff)

well it never went out, except for an ocaisional weak idle it ran like a champ all weekend

now that I'm home, I get teh kids to bed, crack a cold one, reflash again, also open up tuneboy to reset idle, do force adapt etc

well when I fired up the engine the check engine light was still on..

I looked on the actual dashboard tuneboy screen to check errors, and it says check engine on, but where do I read what the error is?

I'm running NEW unifilters, my MAF sensor is in its own seperate filter thing, I checked O2 sensor because I do not have one connected because I'm running a predator pipe....
and appropriate predator tune...

what am I missing? and how do I determine whats triggering the check engine light with tuneboy?

Did you remember to uncheck the O2 sensor fitted box under tune constants prior to loading?

To read the codes click on the error tab at the top of the diagnosistics dashboard.
