Default Having trouble with CEL

Im having trouble with the check engine light. It all started when i installed a steeda cai. It worked fine for a while then the check engine light would pop up.
I cleaned the MAF checked everything was properly sealed and tried it again and again the CHECK ENGINE LIGHT shows up.
So i decide to put the car back to stock and installed my knn filter again. I turn the car on and no Check Engine Light i was glad for a while, but now i find out when i put the car on the ON position the Check engine light is blinking but when i turn the car on it goes away. Now im starting to think it might be the MAF.

What do you guys think?

cel going away = good
cel staying on = bad

did you get a tuner...

*Note: Use of Steeda's Cold Air Intake REQUIRES a tune under any application, which is sold separately.

When you got the tune did you get it for your Steeda intake application? I'm pretty sure they come in 80mm and 90 mm.
