check engine light came on?
well i have no idea what is goin on cuz the car didnt do anything, i was just driving and all of a sudden the check engine light came on..dunno what is the problem, the car drove normally, i have an intake on it and when the light came on the temp outside was around 43 degrees , u think the temp might be the prob wit the intake and the airflow sensor??????.....no clue why light came on...

Did you recently get gas? Check to see if you didn't tighten down the gas cap all the way. Most common reason.

might be a bad sensor somewhere. car feels normal? mmmm doubt its the fluids, but you should change those anyway, 500 over on old oil isnt too spiffy for your engine.

could be one of 3 things
bad o2 sensor
seal around maf sensor not tight giving bad signal to main ecu
dirty maf sensor and /or tps sensor bad
disconnect neg terminal for 15 mins , reconnect and drive normally , if light comes back on , get it checked out
codes wont disappear if you disconnect neg terminal , dealer scan tool can still retreive stored codes
