Wow I'm a dumb A$$!!!
So I was installing my JWT pop chargers on my 07, everything went pretty smooth untill I went to start the car. I unplugged the battery though before I started the car up for about 15 mins. Started it up and it was sputtering like crazy and would turn off after 15 sec...
Now here is the dumb part... I thought I'd play some music while I'm working on it, so I think taking the MAF sensors out at the same time was not a good idea, as I have read in someone elses post...
I got the cel light and everything else lit up on my guages, so I'm going to try and unhook the batter overnight and see if that helps
Any suggestions?

The reason I unplugged the battery is because I have read that you should give it a reset when installing new mods so that the ECU learns the mods, even thought there won't be a whole lot of performance change. Besides I did this to my 03 every time I installed pc/spacer/HFC and I had no problems at all.
