Default Check engine light...huh

Ok....for some reason my check engine light popped on today when I was driving home from work. The car is running fine...i checked to see if the gas cap was tight...it was....any clue at all? I know its a shot in the dark...but I really do not feel like taking off the cai/tune and bringing it back to a dealer. Should I just redo the tune? Thanks

Hook up your tuner, and read what the code is. Then clear it and see if it pops up again. Probably nothing, but keep tabs on it

You are looking for trouble codes I believe is what it calls them.

ok I got it....error code po133 02 s cir slow response
caused by exhaust leaks, maf sensor, inlet leaks, incorrect fueling, or short/open wiring
What now? I guess I need to do a full look over on the exhaust, inlet tube, check the maf sensor....and fueling should not be an issue because I have been using the same gas for awhile.

So with all of that being said.......can I just erase the code and see if it comes back?
