A few months ago, I changed the air filter on my 2002 Grand Prix SE. No matter how hard I pushed and pulled, I could not get the housing to close properly. As a result, the casing is open on the bottom side about half an inch and you can see the exposed air filter. The top is closed with clamps.
I suspect that dirty air is now bypassing the filter and going directly around the filter and into the engine. Today, my check engine light went on and it won't go off. I'm think that this might be the cause.
Is there a trick to getting the cover to close? This is really frustrating. Any tips would be appreciated.
Thanks
