Check engine light on 3 week old FiST

[darklink]

I was driving home from work this afternoon in the middle lane of the highway. The car in front of me braked hard so I slammed the brakes on. The car swerved into another lane as there was a big piece of blown out tire in the lane. Still braking, I quickly swerved around the debris but noticed that the car came out of gear. The shifter was vibrating a little and it was initially hard to put it back in gear. I did get it back in gear and continued on to my exit. As I was exiting I noticed that the check engine light was on. It shifted fine the whole way from the exit to my apartment so when I got home, I turned the car off and back on. Check engine light was still on.

When I called the Ford dealership I purchased from, they were a little perplexed (as was I) but said they didn't have any openings until August 8th. In the meantime, the suggestion was to go to a local AutoZone and have them pull the code. It might even be something that goes away on it's own. I was just wondering if anyone else experienced anything like this or is aware of what the possible issue may be.

That's crazy. I would just go to another Ford dealer close-by.

The code must be pulled indeed.

check engine light or the wrench? I had the wrench come on once. (car was a month old, from something similar, not circumstance but result) and the car also went into limp mode (no boost)
the next day it was 100% normal, and has been ever since

It's definitely the engine light and not the wrench. Light is still on after an entire of no driving and then some light driving yesterday. I went to AutoZone Friday night and they tried to pull the code but it's not something they have in their system. Gonna try and stop at a different dealership on the way home and see if they can at least just pull the code.

So the CEL turns out to be because of the intake I think. I got a Bluetooth ODB2 adapter and downloaded Torque Pro. The code is P144C and after some Google searches, everything pointshould to PCV. I tightened all clamps on the intake and ensured all the hoses were connected correctly. Cleared the code so we'll see what happens.
