Default throtle problem

yesterday cleaned my S and after did that i just checked all the fittings on my new AEM CAI and once i put bonnet down and start the baby up it did not turn over well, it was like it was choking and want too stop.

i looked at dash and saw engine managment light on and thought F*%$ i forgot too plug map sensor back in, so i promptly plugged it back in and started again however light did not go out it still seem as though at idle it was sucking (sort of) and wanted too stall.

so today(sun) too it out for a five min spin and noticed that when i was coming up too stop the revs would die and it would stall unless i waked the throttle on

any ideas please do help?

also any ideas how to reset the managment light without taking it to a stealer.

all the best have cruising

Instructions on how to reset the Check Engine Light (CEL) here. Not too sure about your other problems though...

Mines done something like this when swaping between Air box cover on and then off, and then Changing over to the Mugen intake.

Reset the ECU, the car might try and stall a few time shortly after this until it learns whats goin on with the breathing then it should be ok.

DOn't try to catch the revs by blipping the throttle - the ECU will learn and compensate for the changes made. I would reset the ECU and then allow for at least 3 or 4 cold starts to allow the car to get to normal.
