Unhappy Emissions light on

My emissions indicator decided to come on today. Initially I couldn't get any more power than 2nd gear. I shut the car off for 10 minutes checked my AEM cold intake (it might be loose on the bottom) and turned the car back on. I was able to get power past 2nd gear but the light is still on. Not a gas cap issue as no message came on & I did hear it click earlier in the day. I drove back home 100 miles with no noticeable issues. 31k miles on it-'07. Any thoughts before I bring in on Monday?

did you install the air intake sensor from the stock air box on your aem intake?

Yes. The intake has been on for about 30k miles now with no issues. I even cleaned it back in the summer. I'm hoping it's not this.

unplug the battery for 2 minutes to reset the ecu then plug it back in and see if the light comes on. this typically works.

I did read in the gas cap thread that what was done. But can I be sure there is nothing wrong?

unplug the batt it resets the ecu and turns the light off if there is no problem. the light will come back on if something else is wrong. take it to autozone and they will read the obd 2 and let you know what is wrong.
