    i took the wifes 2000 gp/gt up to a-zone and had the codes read and it came back....

    bb1- vac hose off, cracked, passage blocked
    bb2- throttle body intake tube loose, off, or cracked
    bb3 BARO/MAP defective
    bb4 VAF/MAF sensor dirty or defective

    i went out and checked all connections and everything is tight and didnt see or hear any vac leaks. I took some carb cleaner and sprayed in the TB, the accel. pedal would stick so im sure it was dirty and its not sticking anymore.

    Is there a way to reset the CEL to see if i got it fixed or not or what should i do ??

    First off, we need actual codes, not descriptions.

    Easiest way to reset the light is to disconnect the battery for a couple of hours. Autozone may or may not do it for you, too.

    autozone will clear them if you tell them to, although they dont like to. i left my batterty disconnected overnight once and it still didnt reset the CEL, i also tried pulling the PCM fuses once to no avail, the only thing thats ever worked for me is the code reader, or time (once the problem is fixed)
