I think theres an airflow sensor in there of some type which could cause this, or maybe a vaccum pipe not re connected, im sure theres others on here that know more than me

Look on the throttle body, there would of been a vac hose that went from there to your old airbox. Where the pipe goes into the throttle body it needs to be blocked off. You should of had like a rubber cap with the kit to do it with
