Limp Mode / Check Engine help?!

Hey there guys, I was showing off to some ladies and I kinda hit the redline for like a second. My check engine light came on and then the car went into limp mode for the duration. I restarted the engine and it came out of limp mode, however the check engine light was still on. Any suggestions or ideas I can do to get rid of it? Car performs perfect still but the light is on now so FML. Thanks for any help!

go to Pep Boys or ADAP and have them pull the codes for you...report back here. Don't do anything until you get feedback from forum members....a few codes indicate O2 sensor issues and are actually MAF issues.

Thank you so much for the reply! My friend has a diagnostic tool as well so I will take it to him and then report back here by tonight most likely. I have to drive 300 miles tonight so FML. I've a feeling it's the MAF but we'll see. Will be back soon
