If you didn't have the CEL before, it has to be something you did while cleaning. Double check all hoses and fittings. You didn't get anything in
where you MAF is did you, like blowing crap around? You could take the car up to an auto zone and have them scan it. That'd help us. It may clear on it's own also after a couple of start up's and shut down's.

That's really weird. I just had my thermostat fixed then I got this code too. Maybe they are linked somehow? I have no idea but that's really weird. I just got my car from the dealership on Tuesday now this. Hope this isn't going to be a trend.

Went to the dealer and they said I had the evap error code when my car was throwing the P0031 code (they said they dont go by P codes??). They said it could be a couple of things, would need to charge $230+ to diag, wouldnt hurt the car, but didnt need an 02 sensor as I thought. they cleared the code and hasnt popped up yet after 4-5 restarts (but my window now is falling again..#ifitsnotonethingitsanother)
