Cold air intake install, now check engine light...help please!

[PAnsxer]

Hey everyone....so today I installed a B-Line cai, and everything went great. Sound is awesome and install was pretty easy. Crankcase line was a little cumbersome but everything fit fine. I drove around for an hour or two, no issues. I took it back out tonight and on the way home I lost power, car bogged down, check engine and tcs started flashing. I pulled over and shut the car off and checked all conections, no problems found. I started the car back up and its running totally,normal except check engine,light is now on. I did get fuel earlier but I don't think its that. Any info would be great!!

Main relay. You can probably hit the panel a few times that's just behind the driver's seat and it'll start (you'll have to search some more here to find the proper technique)... but the Main relay will need to be fixed or replaced very soon.

BrianK's your man..

More info on the Relay:

EDIT, found the technique

Turn the key to "ON" position and hit the rear garnish between the seats several times and listen for the pump to kick on. That jiggles the main relay and will sometimes cure the condition - for a while.

Are the main relay and cold air intake in any way related? I just find it odd that a relay randomly went bad after I installed the new intake...thanks so far everyone, LarryB has pm'd me too..I sincerely appreciate all the help guys!!

They shouldn't be directly related.

if the fuel pump is not running then its main relay.might be just coincidence.I'm not an expert like Larry..but a flashing cel Ithought was not good...solid light better...but if your car is an obd2 just get a 30-50$ code reader ..great tool.
