1) You'll need to get the code that the CEL is generating to know for sure which valve is giving you this problem. Autozone will scan it for free.
2) Common one is P2070 for intake valves, but its good to verify first.
3) Gurgling sound could mean the MAF is contaminated and should be cleaned.
4) Check for excessive oil in the intake which can cause problems with both the MAF and intake valves. If you find oil, clean it out (clean the MAF anyway just to rule that out).

Follow this guide to clean the MAF:

For information on the P2070 code, refer to this thread:

And like I mentioned before, check the intake tubes for oil and clean it.
