MS CAI install Engine Wolnt stay running

After installing the MS CAI I tried to start the engine, it starts normally then begins to sputter then stalls? Anyone have any ideas? I checked the nipple on the vacume tube going into the throttle body. Thanks in advance..

I figured it out, the MAF bung was welded on upside down.

Arrow Put it in....

I would put it in somehow. Seal it as best you can, duct tape, bubble gum etc. just so long as it's (mostly) in the airflow, and facing the right way!

....or put the stock piece back on...
