Air Intake issues

Do I went the mountains last week and gps took me down a dirty road. On the way home my check engine light came on and my car was having a hard time getting up an incline. I took it by a partys store and checked the codes. All were related to air intake, O2 sensor, running to rich ect.
I went home and cleaned my K&N filter but the next day the check engine light came on. It's running rough and the power is reduced. Anyone know what I should be looking at?

Have you checked your intake piping for leaks? Perhaps the roughness of the road (if it was) shook some piping loose.

Dirty MAF most likely. Always post the code numbers, otherwise you are giving garbage in for garbage out.

Every one of those points to you over oiled your K&N. Causing a mucked up MAF.

Your next step should be to put the pxxxx codes into Google. Usually one of the top results will get you to a site that gives you real info on the codes. The description the parts guy gives you doesn't mean anything.

This is what I was looking for Don and the codes showed up before I cleaned my air filter.

All of those codes aim directly at the MAF. Each one of them has MAF as a cause, implicitly if not explicitly. So fouled MAF or faulty wiring is the place to start. Then move onto the other possibilities.

BTW there are quite a few threads about the lower TMAP.

Sorry if I sounded short, I was at work and using my semi smart phone. My fingers are way too fat for that tiny screen.
