62K and change on it. Never missed an oil change or any maintenance. I don't drive the car hard in general... yeah occasionally i'll hop on the highway with a quickness but I usually baby her. So i'm driving yesterday and i see the first CEL I have ever had. The only mod I have to my cay is a Cobb SRI which has been on there for about 1.5 years... come to think of it i have never cleaned it. This morning I get in the car and no more CEL. So... does anyone have an idea what could have caused it? Obviously it's time to clean that dang air filter. Actually i'll just replace it. I kind of wondered if it was a dirty MAF? BUt i know s*** all about cars honestly. I'll fix your computer though :)

Thanks for any advice/help.
 
It would be pure useless speculation to try to diagnose a transient and random cel that did not recur.

If it does not come back, you have no problem. If it does, get it read and post the code here.
 
This probably doesn't help - but I was just throwing a CEL because I got some crap gas in NJ where you can't fill up yourself. I probably took the coils and spark plugs out no less than 4 times, rearranging them, checking them, replacing them, only to find out my p0301 misfire in cylinder 1 CEL was caused by the gas.

Take it to an auto-zone, or an advance auto parts. They'll read the code for free, and then we might be able to help you some.
