I had a bit of a scare friday...

Alright so, I picked my little sister up from school friday, and on the way home my SES light came on. I've never had it come on in my car before, so it really threw me off. The car didn't drive any differently at all, the light just came on randomly. So when I got it home, I thought to myself "I'm gonna make sure my intake is still all together." I popped the hood, and sure enough it had come apart in one place. The good thing is it came off after the MAF (it was just the last part that came apart) so that screen in the MAF stopped anything big from getting in. But yeah, so I put it back together, tightening it until I couldn't move it anymore this time (side note: as I was tightening it I got a call from auto zone, I have an interview on tuesday to get a job there ). The SES light was still on. So I took it to auto zone.

Well I had taken my car there to get a code read before (an ABS/Trac Off code), and the scanner just said error and wouldn't read it. The same thing happened this time. It wouldn't read the code. So I thought maybe their tool just didn't like my car, so I went down the street to O'Reilly's, scanned it... it said it was connected, but it was unable to read or clear the code. I'm told it could be the wiring in the plug? Anyone have any ideas? I kinda want to know what codes are going off in the future ya know? sucks. But shortly after I started the car the SES light went off, and hasn't been on since.

Hope you guys like to read.
