Help car won't start after CAI install???

[Murge75]

Is the MIL light on? Otherwise Installing a HAI is one of the simplest things to do. Double check the connection on the drivers side fender that sits to the left of the airbox as viewed from the front.

The check engine light, yes it is on.

I just disconnected negative battery terminal again. See if that works

If disconnecting the battery does not work. I would uninstall the CAI and then re-install it again with the battery disconnected.
Make sure no air leaks in system between filter and throttle body.

Did you reattach the ground for the battery? When I put my old car back to stock I forgot to, and it did exactly what you are describing.

Fixed maf sensor was in upside down per American muscle video where I bought it from. Watched k&n install video and American muscle had it backwards.
