Did you try reinstalling the stock intake and see if the limp modes go away?

Okay, another question.

Did you install the CAI and BOV at the same time?

Okay, well than the BOV is not the problem.

Did you put the line back on that connects in front of the stock air box? It clips on, and it is black....

Na, I doubt that...

Go double check your install and make sure everything is plugged back in and hooked up.

If all you installed today was the CAI than uninstall it and see if the limps go away.

Best of luck man....

No problem. Once you check your install and make sure everything is connected come back and update the thread. The CAI should not cause limps so most likely it is caused by something else.....

i dont think a loose cai would cause a cel

sounds like a vac line is disconnected somewhere. or connected somewhere might have been knocked off

That is why I said double check everything, not just the CAI.

Oh, I'm not mad or anything. Just clarifying. It is hard to portray attitude on the internet.

anyways...i dont understand how he got cels...doesnt really make sense

did the cel come on instantly? if so a vac leak wont throw a code that quick

has to be a sensor or something....make sure everything is plugged and you didnt break a diverter valve

I think he hit the temp sensor on the charge pipe and it came off....
