Default stillen gen 3 intake install,check engine light?

So I installed mmy intakes from stillen they have been stitting in garage for awhile and decided to do it. Well after install I think it went ok. My idle is very high and I'm throwing a code. Engine rpm higher than expected. That's what it says

Well two things did I position air filters too low? And I kinda over tighten the maf sensor bolt on passenger side it broke off but its very snugg in there. And I've checked all hose clamps there tight I'm about to pull of my bumper and check the filters.

Any help?

Find the code that you're throwing.

I'm sure it's related to the MAF, but that's the best way to find it.

Without the code, we're all just guessing.

Some kind of air leak would be my guess.

Give the ECU a couple of days to adapt.
If that does not work disconnect the battery.
If still no go do the manual ECU reset thing.

Ok well code is a p0507 idle air control.

I did clean the throttle body with a rag. So I'm thinking that might have caused it.

Same with my 05 altima we did a tune up and cleaned throttle body it was idle reallyh bad. We had too take it to a dealer and reset it.

What u guys think?

If you touch the throttle plate, you throw the calibration off. Follow instructions in this thread....
