The engine light has juat come on,can anyone please tell me what might be wrong?

What code(s) did you pull? Asuming you have a code reader. You'll need one.
Did you remove the MAF sensor separate from the intake tubing? Or, did you remove everything in one fell swoop... disconnect fromn the airbox and and throttle body end? How did you clean the MAF? Had it had any starting/running issues before you 'cleaned"?
Did you remove the intake manifold rubber pieces?
OK. Now I'm thinking improperly you reassembled the throttle body... did you get the throttle cable properly positioned?
Re-examine your work. Me thinks it's the throttle cable... or a line that didn't get reconnected... a vacumm line.
You'll figure it out. Welcome to the club.

Maf sensor and sensor.
Do you have the hardcover repair manual? You'll want/need it.

Sensor clean
No I didn’t have a hard copy manual, I have put the sensor cable back in it’s position maybe I didn’t put it down enough. The car was working smoothly before I tried to be a smartass and thought I can do it myself.

Tightened up Throttle body and MFS after the problems I had over the weekend with the car just revving and not driving.Today got the car started and drove around 10 minutes car driving ok the engine light also came off got back and reversed into the driveway car wasn't reversing I just turned the car off and then back on put it in reverse and luckily it did into my driveway were then it started smoking at the back turned the car off the smoke stopped aswell,looked under the car and it was leaking what I think is alot of oil.One problem closes and a bigger one opens.
