    I know you recently added a CAI, was it used? Did you do anything with the filter? Oil it up?

    I searched google real quick and this is what I came up with for "maf low input"... Is P0102 the code you got?

    Causes

    A code P0102 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:

    * The MAF may be disconnected, or a wiring connection may be bad
    * The MAF may be dirty or otherwise contaminated (Note: if you use a reusable oiled air filter, be careful not to apply too much oil or that can contaminate the MAF).
    * The MAF sensor may be faulty
    * The vehicle computer may be faulty (very rare)

    Possible Solutions

    The simplest thing to do is to reset the code and see if it comes back. Then start with the cheapest, easiest repair procedures:

    * Verify that the Mass Air Flow Sensor wiring is connected properly and that there are no broken / frayed wires.
    * Inspect for any air leaks near the MAF sensor.
    * Take the MAF out and clean it using a spray cleaner such as brake cleaner or electrical contact cleaner. Be gentle with the sensor.
    * Check the voltage of the MAF sensor (refer to a repair manual for vehicle specific information)
    * Replace the MAF sensor.

    The post by shot_calla covers most of it.

    Go buy yourself some CRC, MAF cleaner...Great stuff. Pull out MAF (pay attention to direction) and clean with that.

    Also check the wires that go into the connector to make sure none have twisted or bent enough to break.
