Default H.Made Cai/Hesitation?

Built a C.A.I at work this week just to try it out,I copied someone's post,3" pvc 2 90's spectre cone and breather.Fitted,Glued and Painted it up Etc.Anyhow now from a dead stop at a light I hit the gas and nothing for almost a second?I cleaned the throttle body before install.after the first drive i noticed the rpm's wanted to surge a little after a stop,so i went back to work and reset all my parameters with our snap-on scanner.I'm clueless it only hesitates from sitting at a light for a minute,It does'nt do it from a stop and go.???? Thanx D...

I would rather doubt a CAI would cause the hesitation, they really don't do much but increase the airflow a bit.

Did you remove the TB when you cleaned it?

I was thinking either that or he gummed up the sensor...

Be careful not to get anything on the sensor, even a thumb print will pretty much make one FUBAR...
