tried the search but it ignored me so it looks pretty much useless.
Anyway,how do you reset it?
I disconnected the batt but that didn't work.

As you have not told us why your engine light is on or what "search" you carried out then its difficult to help you. If you have carried out some sort of repair and the light is still on then be aware that it can take up to an hour of running before the light resets. The alternative is to reset it with one of the inexpensive fault code readers available on the market.

I forgot to plug the airbox in after changing the plugs,hence the CEL being tripped.
So,if the problem was resolved it should reset?

The search was simply "check engine light" and all I got was the words were too common.
Funny,I would think that together they are not that common.

I used what Boilermaker wrote: fault code readers
Now go put 200 miles on it and it should go out.

John (iceman) is correct it should go out within a couple of hundred miles. I have obtained a cheap fault code reader that I use to reset spurious fault indications it is the "Memoscan U480" unit and I obtained it via E-Bay for about £30. I cannot give you any more info as there are no manufacturers details either on the unit or in the hand book. Good luck.
