Righto. I just swapped in that fabbed CAI box that I was asking about earlier. Made it out of some sheet aluminum. Cost a total of 10 bucks at Home Depot, I'll post photos when I get them, I think it looks real nice.
After I put it in, the Check Engine light would come on intermittantly. Today it stayed on for a full half hour, and I stopped in to Auto Zone to have them pull the codes.
They came up with:
172: 02 sensor
186: MAF
332: EGR Position
That's what they told me they were.
Now, during the making of the CAI, I spilled a bit of silicon gel on the MAF mesh, I wiped it off, but I'm willing to bet that there was enough residue to mess up the MAF. With the MAF giving innacurate readings, would that cause the EGR and O2 sensor to go out of wack as well? I wasn't getting any check engine light before I did the swap, so I'm highly doubting those three went at once.
