Default Poor Mpg after installing CAI and TBS

2001 Durango RT 5.9 Just installed airaid CAI and throttle body spacer...my mpg dropped from about 14-15 to about 8-9, and I been using a really light foot. Only thing I unplugged was 2 sensors on driver side of throttle body. I also unplugged the battery for a while to see if that would do anything.

I'd be surprised if the cai dropped the mpg that much, and the throttle body spacer is just a really expensive paperweight, it literally will do nothing performance wise. I'd double check the connections on the sensors and try resetting the pcm again.
