Sounds too rich. hard to say but thats my 10 cents.

Get the code pulled at Autozone (free) and let us know what it is.
It'll be easier to diagnose, or else we're just guessing.

For our car your reader needs to be able to read the CAN-bus protocol.
Just take it to Autozone and get it read for free (I have yet to find an Autozone that couldn't read it, but I'm sure some locations still use an older scanner).
If you're cleaning the intake, spray the MAF sensor with MAF cleaner or an electrical contact cleaner.
Take a peak around the accordion tube and throttle body and see if there is oil around that area.

I went to autozone and they said that they could not read codes anymore because of some lawsuit or something like that they said that aamco transmission can read it for free so I'm going to go there on my lunch tomorrow I will let you guys know what the cel is when I find out
