Installed CAI and car stalls immediately please help!
I just installed an AEM CAI.. i had no instructions.. 2 pipes, 1 filter, anyone can do it.. right now the car is jacked up in the front and 1 wheel isn't on.. when i start the car, it turns off immediately.. i know i didn't disconnect anything (except the battery when installing) but i'm wondering if there's a sensor that doesn't let your car start when 1 wheel isn't on?.. either way, i came home for the weekend to install this on my car and i need to get it working by tomorrow.. any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.. if anyone can throw me a quick response on AIM, my sn is c4ffeineaddict, thanks.

If you never disconnected it and just left it hanging there while installing your CAI; you could have damaged it. The sensor is very fragile and when installing an intake it is a good idea to unplug it, remove it and immediately bolt it up to the new intake pipe.

It's all sorted out now It seems the tube that holds the MAF can be installed either way (he had no directions w/ the intake). The MAF was in the tube properly (it only goes in one way) but the tube was 180°, so it was not reading properly. The tube just needed to be flipped around.
