Ok well heres the latest news on my alero. I put a bored out tb on, works awesome, I put the induction dynamics cai on, works awesome. I put the air charge temp senor in the tube, works awesome....but my service engine light came on and a OBD code reader said it was a high air flow at idle....2 of the same codes....is this a bad thing that i should be worried about because of course the engine is getting more air now...and if its no big deal, how would I reset the system so that the same code isn't given and I dont gotta check the codes before I reset the engine light again.

according to the install instruction you need to disconnect the battery for like 20-30 minutes that way the computer resets itself

you might need to get your pcm reflashed or reprogramed
