Heres something that hasnt been mentioned yet.
Clean your MAF. Go to autozone or radioshack and get CDS electronics cleaner. Electromotive or the other stuff. Alot of times these pre-oiled filters that come with intake systems get oil on the MAF which can get it dirty, and then along with an oily MAF means that theres now a surface that debris can adhere too. This adds to the problem. Id try this first. Ive had this happen first hand and had a few friends with the same issue. This was mostly with K&N filters but could just as easily happen with any other oiled filter. Its worth a shot, even if its not the cause of the CEL youll still probably find that your MAF needed cleaning anyhow.
