Engine Light!!

K so i took my 8 out for a drive today, everything was good and i was all excited to drive it and whatever, but heres my problem

after i was done driving it i brought it to a drive through car wash cuz all the wand wash car washes were paked to the nuts and i had to be somewhere right away and i didnt want road salt sitting on the frame of my car, but anyways after i got out of the wash and started my car my engine light came on, not flashing, but the solid light... i thought it would eventually go away so i thought nothing of it, until my car started bogging out at like 5000rpm

can any1 tell me what the hell is going on??? cuz im shitting my pants over this whole thing and im super worried

thanks,

Chris

Buy a Scanlyser so you can read your own codes and then you can search the code on the forums. You can order it from MazdaParts
