Installed CAI finally, slight problem...
Ok, I disconnected the MAF sensor from the harness and it started, but then died on me the same. Then after a few minutes I can start it back up again and it will run for 5 minutes or so then die. With or with out disconnecting the MAF sensor it seems to be behaving the same way.
I did notice that the idle will sometimes dip a little lower than usual when it is running though. Also, the few times I test drove it around the block it almost felt like the acceleration wasn't quite as responsive. Thanks for helping!

OK- we've ruled out the MAF.
There really isn't much else to disconnect in that area of the engine bay- wondering if your engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor is going bad? These are known for causing similar symptoms.
You do NOT have a check engine light on, right?
Wonder if you have someone nearby with HP Tuners or DHP that could scan your car- you may want to check out ClubGP.com and see if anyone in your region can help you out before you take it to a shop.

Yeah, the engine light went off once I disconnected the battery for a while. I will check out ClubGP.com as you suggested though. I think it's pretty much beyond my level of mechanical knowledge at this point. I really appreciate you helping me out though. Very kind sir.

Whatever the problem is, I hope it's not to expensive.
