O2 sensor CEL's can come from a wide array of things, from a bad O2 sensor to a dirty MAF. Is it running weird?

I have an idea and it might be your maf sensor in you intake. If you have a CAI and have recently cleaned it you may have clogged the sensor. Go to any store and pick up o2 sensor cleaner and spray it on and clean it. Should do wonders if that is the problem. Or maybe one of your o2 sensor on your exhaust came unplugged. so there is a couple of ideas

Or maybe if the filter was recently cleaned, not enough oil was put back on it? Or it wasn't put on evenly andcompletely over thefilter.

On second thought, I like billyjos answer. In my scenario, you'd be running lean, not rich.

Well i talked to my tuner and hooked up my sct to his laptop tuner stuff and it said my A/F was fine......It might have just been a temp thing at start-up.......we cleared the code and it hasnt come back...YET!! But if it does he said he would check the entire tune to make sure everything else is good and then if need be re-tune it for free. We'll see in the nest few days............I'll keep you posted!
