    what are you doing when it comes on?

    does the car still run fine?

    It could be many things. The only way to know is to find a friend with a OBD2 tool and get the code

    Who installed your CAI?

    Could be a poor fitting MAF sensor on your intake, How wet was it when the CEL came on?

    Brand of CAI???????? Also does cai have an air staightener b4 the Maf sensor. No straightener can lead to turbulence and cause CEL.
    Post up your CEL code .

    I've run without a straightener for years and no CEL's from intake, have you got a DashHawk or someone near you can bring up the code?

    got it checked came up as 'lead idle'
    reset the comp and hasnt come up since

    apparently maybe a air leak where the sensor is on the CAI

    but if anyone has any other suggestions would be appreciated
