Hello and thank you for using Just Answer

 

if it happened after hitting a pot hole sounds like something may have come loose

 

check the air tube that runs from the air cleaner to the throttle body to make sure it is tight and has no cracks.

 

the Mass Air Flow Sensor is also sensitive to this type of shock

 

when the engine light comes on a code is set .. you can bring it to a parts store like Autozone and they will read the code for free.

 

this code will help to diagnose the problem

 

but it sounds like either your air tube came loose or your Mass Air Meter is acting up

 

let me know what you find and if you need more help

 

thanks

 

Paul
