Did you reset the battery after installing the new intake? If you haven't, do it. After you reconnect the battery, start up the car and let it idle for 10 minutes with no accessories turned on. This will let the ECU calibrate itself for the new intake.

If your fittings are good, look inside the MAF for any debris that can be blocking the wire inside. If there is debris be very careful when removing to not damage the sensor.

Yes it's cause you have a lot more air coming in then with the stock box. This is throwing the AF out of sync.

You will need something like flashpro to counter it.
