Yeah, I can't see any other reason why this would happen after an intake install...unless (and I hope it's not the case) the maf sensors were damaged somehow.

Hopefully you'll be up and running in the morning

Did you already reset ECU by leaving the battery off the terminal for ~15 mins?

Limp mode?... did you ground or cause a short while you were installing the intakes? Kinda strange why all your dash lights are on.

The same exact intakes? Or a new r2c? Just call the company and see what's up.

There is definitely something not right on here. At the moment I cannot think of anything, but by any chance did you drop any of the MAF sensors those things are super tender, check to see if they have dirt on it. Let us know

Like people have said, this is really odd...something def is not right. I installed these intakes last week and everything is perfectly fine. Only thing I can think of is the MAF sensors. Try re-installing them again with the negative side of the battery disconnected the entire time.

I was going to suggest to uninstall the intakes, then reinstall them all over again from start to finish.

make sure the rubber gasket under the maf sensor is installed properly and every clamp/vacuum line after the maf is secured.

Get a reader and check thE CEL. It'll give you a clue which component is causing the problem

It has to be the MAF sensors man. Check the ports on the R2C for dirt or anything that could be interfering.

If there was something wrong with MAF and you fixed it, You still need to clear the code. Leaving the battery disconnected will not clear CELs codes. You need to use a reader to clear it.
