Does you CAI have a diameter change just in front of the meter?
My MAC CAI had a diameter change just in front of the meter and it caused some confusion in what the meter read. It caused and idle hunt and sometimes when I let off after acceleration, it would just die. New CAI with no diameter change, problem solved.

where should i start at?
The cts is what controls the mixture when cold. I would have to look up the resistance values tomorrow at work and then post them up for ya. Or, if you don't feel like waiting, you can buy one for around 20 bucks. What year is your car, man or auto?

Mine is 2 dif sizes and I don't have that problem. Not sure if that would cause it or not.

Two different sizes is not the issue. If the CAI changes diameter just before the meter, it is a rounded change of size (just like where exhaust pipe is enlarged for end connections) not a blount change of pipe diameters at the meter. The rounded change of diameter in the CAI pipe changes the laminar flow along the pipe wall not allowing it to straighten out before it gets to the meter.

Coolant temp sensor. But this one is for the ecm. Not the gauge.
