check that you have no air leaks. Then disconnect the battery for 30 seconds and reconnect it.

Hahaha, I'm an idiot. Either I didn't connect the MAS or it came unplugged. Lol

Cars running fine. Now how the hell do I get rid of the CEL?!?!?

Thanks all.

You need a OBD scanner to clear the code. Autozone has them and some will probably do it for free. Just the code first just to make sure that what the code it threw was the mas plug and not something else.
