I just read the first post and it looks as though you just need to get a new O2 sensor and clean the K&N air filter. Autozone can read the codes after that for free and it should tell you which one is bad but if your car is running lean then you are at MAX POWER lol but then again you also risk damaging it severely

I wouldn't sweat it, reset the codes and see what comes back. Especially if you recently installed your CAI and forgot to disconnect your battery. My CAI reset by itself after 5 days, newer cars have really adaptive ECU's which will attempt to recal your engine back to stock, if it cannot adjust then hence your CAI light will come on and you will run lean unless you purchase some type of tuning computer like an APEXi Super AFC-II which is used to properly tune an engine when aftermarket parts are put onto a vehicle. :coffee:

Other than the check engine light, does the car drive the same but maybe slightly louder with the Cold Air Intake (CAI)???

It's not a cold air; just a high flow (?). It gets MUCH better gas mileage than the stock intake (I'm talking damn near 100 miles per tank). I was thinking about it last night. A friend of mine out that intake on probably 3 years ago and the only thing I noticed was it was a little louder. Never had an issue. I didn't know that the filter had to be oiled and thus would only take it off and rinse it. The other half gave me a :smack: and said it needed to be oiled and started taking care of it. That would have been probably almost a year ago. Since then I've had issues with the light coming on. I took it into the shop several months ago because it was hesitating a good bit and the light was on. They found NOTHING wrong besides some things being dirty. It's not hesitating like it was but maybe a little bit and the light is on.
