It was on the lift while putting everything back together, only turned the key as far as the acc mode, never turned it over until all four wheels were back on the ground.
I'll see if it will let me clear the codes. They haven't been thrown, just "pending", if that matters.
What year car do you have? Or 1st Gen R53 ( no MAF sensor) or R56 2nd Gen with MAF Sensor.
Take the filter out and wash off some oil. People always over oil them that why I run them without oil.
for 2nd Gen:
With the key off wipe off the mass air flow sensor inside the intake by the filter a little bit.
‘Then put it all back together again, clear any codes and start and drive the car. The code may not go away ASAP, it could take 50+ miles if you scan gauge does not clear it for you.
Sounds like to me you have vacuum leak somewhere when you were potting everything back together OR you stated the car while you were working on it BEFORE EVERYTHING was put back together.
clear the codes and drive it to see if it comes back.
