Default Problems after installing CAI - please help

Has anyone had any problems with their car after installing a AEM CAI? I installed it and double-checked everything twice. Before it went into limp home mode it felt like the MAF sensor was unplugged, because there was not any throttle in VTEC. Also it seemed to be leaning out. So then it got so lean it went into limp home mode. Now the Check Engine light is on. And it is stuck in limp home mode.

Has anyone seen this issue?

How do you pull and clear the codes, I think I can only do it with a scan tool, but let me know if there are any other tricks?

Any help would be appreciated as I just want to go cruise, I just put the new shoes and springs on the car and it is just sitting in the garage.

Thanks for any help!

Did you triple check all your hoses?

If all the hoses are good it's definately your MAF sensor.....hopefully you didn't mess i tup

I just went down to make sure everything was tight, and the hoses were right. I thought the wires might be pulled to tight on the MAF sensor, but there is plenty of slack. I guess I will call AEM first, to see if they have seen this condition on the 06 Si. It sucks, I just want to go out and cruise, I also installed Tein S-techs and 19's Axis wheels
