Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Suggestion
Also, while I'm not a fan of MAF cleaning -- with a stock air intake system and an air filter the MAF never needs cleaning -- with the aftermarket air intake system and air filter the MAF could have become fouled with oil thus a cleaning might be called for.
Leading evidence: 'Clean might be called' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Clean might be called' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.

Suggestion · Original poster
I let it run for a few and drive home with no issue.
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

The other day I took my car through a brushless car wash. When I left, I went to accelerate to jump into traffic. It fell flat on its face at 5k RPM in 1st. Shift to 2nd and the same thing. It wouldn't go past 5k at WOT. I get back to work and open the hood and notice some water on the sock of my intake (car has a K&N cold air intake). I leave it open and let the car dry off. Crank it later that day and the idle was a little choppy at first, then smoothed out fine. I let it run for a few and drive home with no issue. Car pulled strong through the entire rev range. Everything was back to normal.
Fast forward maybe a week a the check engine light comes on. Code is P1128. I cleared the code and about 10 minutes into another drive it comes back
Could the two be related? Something to do with the water? any other ideas? AOS?
Car runs fine aside from the CEL
Engine is running lean. Could be from an intake air leak which includes a bad AOS, low fuel pressure, intake hose leak, loose oil filler tube cap (or a leaking one -- on my 296K mile Boxster I've had to replace the oil filler tube cap twice now -- it wear out and leaks), or a bad MAF.
If the MAF was exposed to water from the car wash and the aftermarket air filter system this could have damaged the MAF. If you have an OBD2 code reader/data viewer you can view the MAF reading in real time. At idle it should be steady and increase with RPMs and then at a steady RPM remain steady. If it doesn't...
Also, while I'm not a fan of MAF cleaning -- with a stock air intake system and an air filter the MAF never needs cleaning -- with the aftermarket air intake system and air filter the MAF could have become fouled with oil thus a cleaning might be called for.
If you elect to try the MAF cleaning you can do this first as it costs you only a bit of time and an aerosol can of a non-residue electronics cleaner.
Handle the MAF with care and this includes the wiring. Drop the MAF, or static discharge into the MAF connector or the wiring harness connector, break a MAF wiring connector pin or wire and the cost goes up substantially.
