Clean it before replacing it. Clean the TB, filter and possibly MAF as well. Then reinstall the CAI and see if you still have the previous issue.

I don't think you will.

Did you scan for codes? Even if you don't have a CEL, you could have a pending code that hasn't tripped the light yet.

Is your aftermarket filter an oiled one?
