lean code

Alright I threw my first code today. I got it scaned and they told me it was a lean code and that my o2 sensor could be bad. I doubt that's it. It started when I put a breather on my manifold and disconected the tube from the cai and stopped it up. My modsare Injen cai, flowmaster 2.5, breather. I think it is just too high of an air fuel ration since the cai is putting alot more air into the blowers ince it dosn't have to share air with the manifold.

What do yall think? Should I dissconect the battery?

Its the CAI

I get that code all the time, and so do the other redlines. I was going to put the breather on mine too, but was told it would throw the code. Ever since I got stage 2 I don't get the code anymore, by the way is the code P0171????

Dude no one else has a breather on their car. I was just asking for opinions. I know what stuff has been posted a million times if I saw that others were having problems with the breather I wouldn't have posted here.

To all others thatnks for the input especially smokem

It is not my intake causing the light it is the breather. My intake never gave a cel until i put all air coming from it straight to the throttle body instead of allowing the cai to split it between the manifold and the throttle body.
