Did you reset the ECU?
Also, turn off the caps, no need to yell.

You messed up your MAF sensor somehow.
Same thing happened to my friend after he installed his CAI and washed his engine down with a hose. I drove over and put my MAF in and it was fine. He had to go to the dealership and buy a new one...

Try the ECU reset first, if the lights come back your MAF is likely messed up

I had that occur after i reinstalled my AEM intake a while back. I reset the ecu ... the CEL came back up. I then proceeded to clean the little sensor thingy on the MAF with a little rubbing alcohol on a few qtips ... reinstalled it and its been working fine ever since.

That trick may or may not work.

Please try a search--this subject has been covered over and over again. Make sure all the connections are tight and try to clean the MAF sensor. If you have to replace it you will have to shell out a few bucks. Good luck.
