Maybe is your MAF Sensor that go bad or damage. Also, one of the 3 sensors in the Throttle Body. (TPS Sensor). Level Sensor, Control Sensor or Position Sensor.

Id recommend you scan your CEL again. Something should be there other than O2 sensors.

I second this notion. Too many possibilities to guess.
