Default Car will only idle

One week after taking the car to the dealership for an oil change the car now has a mind of its own.

I went out to my car after work, to go home. Car starts fine but all the dash lights stay on. The car will only idle no matter how much I depress the throttle. If I put the car in gear it will stall. After 4 attemps to start the car it finaly moves forward.

Three days later (today) it does the same thing after I park following a 20 minute drive. This time I wait about 30 seconds and then attempt to start again and the car works fine. On both occasions the outside temp is in the mid 90's and the SES stays on.

They replaced my air filter and oil, is there something I can check? Or should I just take the car back to the dealership.

there is probably a leak after the maf and before the throttle body. check your intake lines and make sure all the hoses are on properly. 95% sure thats the problem.
