Update: The CHECK Engine Light is GONE! It looks like the culprit was the dirty MAF sensor. Leakyseals' recommended steps were right on the money. I searched & googled the topic and 80% of the solutions I read pointed towards cleaning or replacing the MAF sensor. Here's what I did. I bought a can of CRC Mass airflow cleaner (solution exclusively for cleaning sensors $8.00). Had my son Steve locate and spray the critical parts of the sensor (recommend watching one from Youtube). Poured a bottle of fuel injector cleaner in the gas tank, drove around. Did not go away overnight. Lapse time before the CEL disappeared was approximately a full day, but I guess mileage will vary. I'm keeping my fingers crossed but I am almost certain this is it.
Having had a similar CEL experience from my old Nissan Quest years ago, I learned to have the patience in methodically addressing this issue instead of running to the dealer right away. My advice to anyone with a similar situation is not to panic, but to check all the blogs on the issue, seek friendly advice, and start with simple quick fix before escalating to expensive ones. Thanks again, LS...
