I googled the code, thats what i got. U already knew this thou. Id readjust the intake, seems like the throttle is snagging on something. Replace the intake with the stock and aee if the codes go away. When i replaced my filter, same thing happened to me, then it all went bavk to normal.

Maybe the k&n air intake caused the throttle valve to get dirty so it won't close or open freely. It may be worth it to take out the intake tube and look into the throttle body for any damage around the edges and where the butterfly valve connects to the body. Don't attempt to lubricate that butterfly valve or spray anything on it while the engine is running! Just clean it gently with some carb cleaner and a cloth. Also check if all the connectors, like the MAF on top and the other connector look ok and haven't been damaged. Usually with aftermarket intakes even if it throws an error, it adjusts after a while and the error goes away. So, chances are in your case either the butterfly valve is dirty or you got some loose connector or wires.
