GS300 Intake question

Was wondering if anyone got the same problem i got. I have a custom intake piping (with the air sensor) with HKS filter on my '02 GS3. I noticed if i gun my car more than often, the check engine light will turn on. I then will put my stock one back on then after about a day, the check engine light will turn off. Any suggestions why it does that?

as far as suggestions, you need an air/fuel controller like the apexi neo. Or, ditch your intake and spring for the SRT intake with ecu add-on (solders to your current setup and does the tuning for you)
