Weird thing happened 3 times and now "Check Engine"

[Henry Suarez]

light is on. I noticed the Trac was idiling a little high. I accelerated and it seemed like she lost all power and came out of gear. I would turn her off and she started up...no problem. Accelerated and same thing happened 2 more times. I finally got her home coasting, she seems to be fine except the check engine light is on. I will take her tomorrow to get the codes, but has this happened to anyone before?

Dirty or faulty MAF

Cleaned the MAF, didn't seem dirty. Did however notice a small air leak coming from a bolt that holds the K&N airfilter pipe to the chasis. It was right at the elbow. I put some black silicone on it, reset the computer, and she seems to running perfect now. Any other suggestions would be helpful.

I had issues with my 08 STA's K&N intake falling off the throttle body constantly. I had to add a second hose clamp to the TB side and reduce the pressure on the clamp that was already there. Two clamps with moderate pressure did the trick.



I didn't have this issue on my 2010 for some reason.
