Default Service Engine Soon

Hey Guys/Gals,
I own a 2009 370z Nismo. Just need some advice here;
Yesterday I got in my car after the gym and noticed my service engine soon light was on. I drove 60 miles to work and a couple to the gym and nothing had come up then, it wasn't until I got in my car after the gym that it appeared. When my car is in neutral, the RPM's remain at a constant 1,000 rather then dropping to the normal 500-700 that they usually stay at. Anyone know what could be causing this? I just had my oil changed on Sunday. PLEASE HELP

Go get the code pulled. Otherwise we can't help at all. Auto parts stores usually do it free.

Sounds like a sensor. Which one? I couldn't tell you. Get the code ran and you can probably do it yourself in most cases

It could be a myriad of things. As others said, get the code(s) pulled, and post them here. Good luck! Hopefully it's something minor.

you plug a device into the OBD2 port located just south of your steering column. then the device pulls the data trouble code (dtc). that tells you wat's triggering the ses. your local autoparts store has the device and can pull the code for you.

There is a certain code associated with the service engine light. You plug a code scanner into the OBDII port and it tells you what code caused your service engine light to come one which in turn will help you fix the problem. You can take it to most auto parts stores and they will pull the code for free.
You then post the code that was pulled and we can look it up and tell you what is likely the issue.

No worries about being a noob, we were all there at one point.
