Default Car won’t start after SRI install

bought injen sri installed it everything went smoothly started it up and car ran good for a solid 10 seconds, after it bogged out and car won’t start. So i installed the stock intake back took off battery terminals to reset the computer and car still won’t start. I’ve checked all the vacuum lines and MAF sensor seems to be in good shape. The car is turning over just won’t get going, Any ideas of what it could be?

If you have an OBD2 scanner you might have a code "pending". This might help you isolate what got messed.

My guess is MAF. They don't run worth anything when the MAF gets installed incorrectly or damaged.

Hey not sure if you are still having issues, but I installed the same intake and had similar issues. Turned out I installed the intake tube backwards(lol). It fits perfectly either way. The injen intake slots the MAF sensor only one way, and the way I installed it had the MAF sensor facing the wrong direction. I flipped the tube so that MAF sensor was facing the correct direction and all problems went away immediately. The arrow should be pointing away from the filter for reference.
