Check your oil and the pressure sensor to make sure nothing is dirty or whatever... The fact you went out wouldn't have changed anything... I'd give it a day or two to see if it really changed.

Relocate vac ball on pass side of engine bay wherever of fits. We trimmed the bumper at that angle to match the cross member behind it.
