RB RevI intake

I just had my RB RevI intake installed and I completed it by following the instructions from RB but the problem now is the engine is kind of chocking at idle and the check engine light turns on.

did i miss something ? anyone had similiar problem before with this intake ?

did you get the red cap on the manifold on? also check to make sure the maf is seated right and the connectors are tight..

swoop, i have sealed off the manifold with a rubber and noticed engine chocking has stopped but check engine light still remains on

is there anyway to make the light go away ?

it will take several drive cycles...

but. to help the sensors reset...

take off the neg bat cable.. switch the car key to on. then step on the brake...

reattatch the cable..

start car.. it will take a couple drives for the idle to settle down.. that is normal..
