used to be that my check engine light would come on every 8 to 10 mins of driving. i would shut off my car turn it back on 3 seconds later and it would go away. but lately its been getting worse and now its gotten to the point were when i turn my turn on it comes on right away and wont go away. could it be that the my MAF needs to be replaced or is it a problem way beyond that? please help

 

You need to check the codes. The check engine light will flash a certain # of times.
