OK im new and new cars are way harder to work on so help me.
as everybody know CEL,VSC,trac OFF lights
I went to do a OBD reading
after my intake install (Top Fuel Power Chamber intake)
code spat out
To much air going in.
is there anyway to compensate this?
i know we have a built in fuel regulator in our fuel tank just way to much trouble and beside car should adjust it itself buy mines not working someway, giving the car a rough idle which is running to LEAN.
or would i have to remap the FUEL MAP?

Did you disconnect the battery for like 5-10 minutes, hook it back up and let it idle for about 10 minutes? It should set itself.

yea i tried reseting the ECU from pulling the EFI fuse in the engine bay already.
unless disconecting the battery will make a diffrence?
both ways still resets the ecu

Yeah, undo the battery, not the fuse. Try it that way and let us know if it works.

May want to pull your MAF sensor and give it a good cleaning. A lot of times the oil residue will build up a bit on it and collect dust. This trips a lean code in the ECU.

ok i cleaned the MAF sensor again with the electronic cleaner.
car still running lean and car has minimal misfire.

Where is the breather tube from the valve cover connecting to the intake, before or after the MAF sensor? If it's after and the hose is loose, it may be sucking in extra air after the MAF, which can throw a code. Also check the intake coupler to the throttle body.
What specific code is spitting out, the cam and crank position sensors have their own codes, I doubt is is one of those unless you're code is tripping those.

the breather tube is before the maf
and the code says that cylinder 1 in running lean
which is all weird
