g37: service engine soon

Yeah I definitely won't be mentioning the dropped socket (not bolt, I wrote it wrong) lol. And I hope its just a dirty MAF sensor, but the car is less then a month old so don't know how that would happen. I'll keep everyone updated.

If your car is less than a month old, dirty MAF sensor is very unlikely but I guess it's possible. A vacuum leak is more likely. Check as best as you can for vacuum leaks. Try first to listen for them with the engine running. If you can't hear it anywhere, you could use thick smoke in the engine bay to see the source or try spraying all known vacuum hose connections with starter fluid. If it sucks it in, the engine will stumble or die. There is your leak.
You were removing your grille - what else did you remove or mess with under the hood? Possible you didn't connect something back correctly?

if you have a laptop go to ebay and buy an obd2 cable for it it will read and tell you whats wrong on the go you can also check all of the sensors and erase check engine light(only do it if youre aware of the problem). It also comes for android phone I check my friends cars all the time with it. only $20

Brought the car in today and they found the problem. On the paper they gave me, it mentioned the code p2135. I was covered under the warranty and they replaced the electrical throttle control actuator. I can rest easy, and thank you for all the help and inputs.
