My service engine soon light came on when my boost spiked to 23 psi, but it turned off by itself after a few days.

Check to make sure that you tightend down everything well when you installed your intake. A leak can throw off the readings that the MAS is getting, which can be the cause of your SES light.

well i checked the gas cap and it was good but when i was looking to my intek i found out that one of the screws that conect the intek to the to the MAS was missing which created a leak.
but i dont know if that was the couse cuz i think it was like that for a long time

Pull the negative cable off the battery for 30sec or so then reattach the light should go a way then, by pulling the negative cable it resets the internal computer and therefore turns the light off. my lancer did this when i put my intake on so i reset it, then everything was fine.

it is most likely the o2 sensor. i have the same problem right now. go to a mechanic and have them hook it up to their computer and they will tell you what the proplem is. its not the intake...
