Why not take it somewhere like an Autozone and have the code read to find out if it's related to what you did ?

wish i could help, but unfortunately i dont know the answer. This happened to me when i swapped back from my volant to the Stock intake.
Swapped them, as far as i know everything was installed right. I got a check engine light the next morning. couldn't figure out why. Went to my local autoparts store & had them do an OBDII scan to pull the codes. They did & got a read out that said something about the MAF sensor.
I checked it out & it was installed properly... I disconnected the battery for 10 minutes & then reconnected it. the light went away but then came back less than an hour later.
I was leaving for college that day, so i didnt ever figure out what was wrong or how to fix it. My father ended up taking it to Cadillac & the dealership got rid of the light; wish i knew how.

You should be abe to clear the codes out yourself and then after you do that.. disconnect the battery and let it sit about 10 or so min. Then reconnect and let it re-learn. I have had to do this with several cars that I have added either a CAI too or just changed anthing with the air intake.. Other than just replacing the stock filter..

I did this when I did my TonyA mod and have not had any issues.. I want a full CAI on mine now but for us with the 03's it always a PITA to do things since is seems we are the odd year of the bunch.....
