    did you make sure to reinstall all the intake sensors? It sounds like the MAF my be getting cover in the filter oil, take it out and clean it with the proper electrical cleaner and try again.

          Yeah, you have to be real careful when you oil the filter (it was a K&N filter, right...), you cannot use too much, otherwise the MAF will malfunction.

            If you clean the MAF and it's still running rough try disconnecting the battery for a few minutes then reconnect it and start it again.

                Well I'm back to report that it's working good now MAF is clean filter also this time with a lite coat of, but now Codes (2) P0300, P0171, P0174 I deleted them with my Actron Scanner but P0171 & P0174 seems to come back might let the pros take it out. That's my update for now time for new synthetic oil & trans fluid then put my 20% tint on see ya!!!

                  Be careful converting over to synthetic oil depending on the millage. I wouldnt do it if you have over 100,000 miles, again, JHMO. I would however change out the rear diff fluid and put in some good synthetic, and maybe the trans as well. Eric L

                      Why? what would happen? Maybe destroy some seals?

                          It's still in its factory position since putting this CAI on all I get is codes 171 & 174 two each even after deleting them everyday now the first delete code P0300 went away but 171 &174 are driving me nuts I'm thinking about taking it to the shop and get it taking off.
