I took it to the dealer and they said it was the new exhaust and told me something about adjusting magnet-something-another. Anyway... they adjusted/calibrated/whatever for free.
That sounds exactly like what happened to mine except I had no check engine light on.

Its been a couple days and car is running great, wish I knew what the exact cause was for sure. Might wash my car again soon and see if the problem happens again.
