This could be MAF or O2 sensor though the MAF does not turn on the lamp the MAF can upset the O2 sensor, and that turns the light on

black death

i took the cover off the engine and thought that something had melted
it turns out to be carbon. I'm having fun getting it off so it must be injector seals and possible new injectors how much

Just to put your mind at rest it will not need new injectors this is a common problem and needs some new O rings etc
