Alright, sometime in September I installed my AEM CAI and the damn thing triggered a Check Engine response. I took it to the mechanic and he said it was triggering a "hot air" instance for the intake. The grommet on the intake sensor looks too small for the hole. We erased the trigger and the car ran better and was definately more responsive and seemed healthier. However, the light came back the next day. I then unhooked my battery to kill everything... Nothing changed. Now when the engine is cold and it's about 40 degrees out or less the engine bogs down tp 500RPM. Do I need a bigger grommet or do I need something else?
I installed my AEM not too long ago and it threw a code too... Here's what I've gathered:
AutoZone does a free OBDII scan if you ask them... get the exact code(s) your car is throwing.
For instance, mine is throwing P0113 which is "Intake Air Temperature High Circuit Input" -- what that means is that my sensor is reading too high of a voltage... The wires leading into the connector to the IAT sensor are poorly designed by GM. The slightest tug on the connector can, and often does during an intake install, loosen the wire connections into the connector (the little grey connector that plugs into the IAT sensor). AutoZone supposedly sells a new connector with beefier wiring. You will have to splice the wires together though.
Moral of the story, find out exactly what code your car is throwing so you can know if it's the sensor, the connector, or something totally different.
Good luck.
My check engine came on one time for no reason, the mechanic fixed and two weeks later it came back. Then the RPM stopped moving so I had to switch my whole gauge which wasn't a pretty amount.

If the code has somethign to do with a high circut input, then i can almost garuntee you the sensor got f-ed up during the install, or there is a short by it somewhere. Obviously it wasnt shorted b4 the install, so i would check all around where you would have been pulling/wiggling the wires, see if you can see anything, if no luck there, go buy a new sensor.

Thats exactly the code it's throwing... thats awesome... do you have pics of what you had to do?? Or the part # at autozone?
