well i believe if you remove your maf sensor the cel will automatically turn on... if it stays on after you clear the code.. i dont know... imo i dont like cold air intakes, i stick with the factory.

Have the code pulled and see if it really is the intake. What other mods do you have on your car? Because it is unlikely that the intake is causing misfires.

CAI's tend to make your engine run lean, especially that infamous 3rd cylinder. I wouldn't run an intake unless you've upgraded your injectors and/or have some sort of engine management

Dude, I used a Injen intake for a good year w/ no problems. It will not cause a CEL. Check your installation of the MAF sensor, maybe you put it on backwords...i've heard this has happened to others before and caused a CEL. Get the code pulled and see what it is.
I wouldn't worry about it the injen your car should be fine w/ it. Now if you eventually get some type of management make sure it's tuned for it.
