Most definitely! 
I just sprayed the sensor and let it dry and reinstalled it. I just forgot to tighten that hose clamp. It was completely loose. 
Earlier, I went for a quick drive around the neighborhood and it hasn't come on again. We'll see.

Yea, if the think was sucking in air behind the MAF and airbox, that could be the case. How long was the airbox leaking?
I'm sure it will be alright, but It will def. be in the back of my mind.

Ah you'll be fine. But had it been leaking for like a month there would have been the risk of the engine sucking in dust and what not.
Reset service interval this morning and light went out, 300 miles later and no problems. Fingers crossed.

Mine just came on tonight. I'll try Autozone or someplace to read the code and go from there. Looks like it can be a variety of issues.

I got this issue before and only see it when my gas tank is almost empty. Filled it up and the problem went away. That was then, now the increased emission! warning light goes off and does not go away. I think there is something really wrong with the car now
Going to take the car to my auto shop tomorrow to figure out what is really wrong with the car. Will keep you guys posted.
