Default forgot to plug in MAF

Hey guys i recently hit a deer with the front of my car, so they had to replace the whole front including my intake box. I had the f sport intake, but because I did not get it through lexus they replaced the box with the OEM version ( they left the tube and everything else installed). So a couple of days ago I decided to reinstall the f sport box back into my car and when I finished installing it, I forgot to plug in the MAF plug. I tried to start the car twice, but of course it did not start and I finally remembered to check the MAF. Once I plugged it back in the car started, but the check engine light came on as well as trac off on the display. After about 10 min of driving everything went back to normal, which made me happy, but now I feel like I'm not getting as much power as I use to. I do not know if its just me being paranoid or if the MAF sensor just needs more time to readjust itself, but I was wondering if there is some type of machine or test to see if my car is getting full power. Thanks in advanced.

I don't think any damage could have been caused in this case. Try disconnecting the battery for 20 minutes and then re-connect. Then immediately go drive the car like you would want it to perform everyday.

Let us know if that helps.

You need to reset your ECU for the correct airflow.
