Well I personally would try disconnecting the battery and re-connecting it, this way the computer gets a fresh start, if not, then reset the ECU. I think I have heard ppl having to do this to their TL's after putting in a CAI.

good luck with that.

I just disconnected my battery for a bit. Have your radio code on hand, you'll need it. don't do what I did and freak out when my radio didn't work and I didn't have the card with me!!

Disconnect the battery for about 20 to 30 mins will reset the ECU and you should be set. Check that all the hoses are plugged in and everything is tight...
