You probab;y need to reset the CEL with a OBD scanner.

The 911 answer is: put the stock one back on and it will be fine.

*moved to Under The Hood for further discussion about the aftermarket one.

CEL codes don't just " go away " either the problem gets fixed or things fall back with in the allowable peramiters.
You can clear a code till you are blue in the face but if the system remains in fault the light will come back again and again.
