I just installed a AEM cold air intake in my tuck and for the first week everything seemed fine. Then my check engine came on and I read the code and it told me that the mass air flow sensor was reading low input. The light has been going on and off for the last couple months. Thanks

aftermarket intakes will often mess with the MAF sensor reading. was this code coming up prior to replacing the intake?
