[V8] check engine light question...

[Buchholz, Steven]

... I didn't respond earlier because I don't have direct experience ...
but I suspect that the line you broke is for the EGR ... which the PT
engines don't have.  If my suspicion is correct you really should find
the end of the line that goes to the intake and seal it off somehow ...

It is *very* easy to pull and decode the codes ... let the engine tell
you what it doesn't like!  Instructions are on Scott Mockry's site:
