RE: cold air problem
He means check to make sure none of the sensors have oil/debris on them from your install, on your car both sensors are combined into the MAF sensor, which is right after your new CAI. Pop it off, check to make sure the sensor is clean. If it is not, buy some sensor cleaner at your local auto parts store and clean it off.
If its running fine now thugh you are probably ok.

Dude, go to high school and learn proper punctuation. I think you used 1 period and 1 comma in the whole entry. I'd love to help but I'm not gonna sit here for 30 minutes trying to figure out what you said.
