Try driving around for at least 5-10 miles or so and it should go away. My CEL was on when I installed my Injen CAI, but a quick trip down the street to autozone and back made it go away.

If you had that sensor unplugged with power to the car, it can cause a CEL. It'll go away with some time and miles; shouldn't take TOO long.
