Default Car running bad after CAI install?

I recently put a AFE intake on my corvette c7 z06 and had a reduced power pop up while driving and whenever I would step on it my car would feel sluggish and overall slow. Do I need a tune for the air ratio or what can be wrong with the vehicle?


these are the codes it gave me plus a reduced power making my car feel sluggish. MAF sensor seemed to be good but did not clean it.

You've left something unplugged or not tightened properly. It looks like either you have air entering the system post MAF or the MAF itself was damaged.

Uninstall it all and start over reading the instructions carefully. Likely user error.

These cars throw codes anytime you unplug something, but @Internets_Ninja is probably correct about something being unplugged still. I have an AFE and you need the MAF plugged in near the filter end and an oil vapor line plugged in by the intake end, but also make sure your fully on the throttle body. I have a hard time with making sure mine is fully on all the way around the throttle body.

I had this issue the last time I cleaned my K&N filter in my Z06. I didn't get the MAF sensor plugged in far enough. It would barely run at all. I unplugged it and re-entered it into position and all was fine. Good luck.
