Default engine issues w/CAI + tune

Has anybody expierenced engine lights coming on w/their CAI + tune combos?? I've had my engine light come on several times now and I solve the problem by re-flashing the computer. This morning on the way to work, I had the engine light, a wrench light and the battery light come on along with the car dying on me. I again reflashed with a different tune and all was back to normal. When I initially installed the tune, I did notdisconnect the fuel pump and fan fuses per the instructions recommendations, but did not think it would be an issue. Does anybodyhave any suggestions?? I'm worried I may end up causing unwanted damage and tear by reflashing the computer so often. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Make sure you put the CAI tune in and not just the performance tune. A mistake I made. Engine light was on and I was running too lean. The CAI tune was hid in one of the submenus.
