Default CAI install HELP....
I installed my Airaid today and after that my check engine light came on. After about an hour of driving it went off. What could I have done wrong to make it come on?

It's simply the AIT and the O2 Sensor reporting what the ECM thinks are erroneous readings. Your engine was probably leaned out with more air getting through than what a simple intake temperature sensor could validate as it doesn't read volume. I'm sure the ECM will get it worked out, but I wouldn't be surprised if you run a little on the lean side.

Disconnect your battery for 10min. Mine did that, no more check engine light.

You probably cracked the flux capacitor. Happens all the time.
