Did you reconnect the IAT? Intake Air Temp. And disconnecting one could've broke the wire internally I guess, if it's old and brittle.

The MAF. Mass Air Slow sensor. If it's a 94+, it's the big thing in the middle of the CAI and intake elbow. If it's a 93 then you don't have one, and even more so should have less a reason to throw a code from jsut a CAI install.
