Check for leaks between the joints. Disconnect the battery to clear the CEL drive the car a few miles. IF you still get the CEL after a few miles take the intake off.

I think the pcv line is the issue. Going to run a new line without the quick disconnects. If I disconnect the battery will I lose all me settings like gauge settings, seat and exit features. I don't want to deal with all that again so I may just do a pop in at the dealer and ask them to clear it

The OP contacted me the day he had the issue. I walked him through the troubleshooting, and found out that he had broken the locking tab on the PCV quick disconnect to the nipple receiver. The PCV line would not stay connected, and the un-reported air will cause a lean code within seconds on the second startup.

Simple to fix. I recommended for a temporary fix, to use an equal length of 5/16 fuel line hose and plug one end into the nipple, and the other into the clean side of the dry sump reservoir. That whole line is probably $20 and I offered to pay for it.

Any Auto Parts store like AutoZone will clear codes for free.
