I'm sorry to say this, but we've seen many custom CAI be the cause of issues.
If the ID or the length of the tube isn't correct, or if screens aren't installed before the MAF, it cause problems with your MAF readings.
If this custom intake removed the VFAD and you didn't cap the fitting behind the throttle body, you'll introduce a vacuum leak.

If you switch back to the stock intake and everything works... you know what the issue was.
