Folks with 09+ running Volants have had issues running rich. Some have stated that they were told to use an O-ring for the MAF, that was enclosed in the packaging but not addressed in the instructions. Did you install that?

I would definitely give them a call. We have had a lot of customers who have had issues with these intakes, it is a matter of the intake forcing the MAF to read wrong.

I have an 09 5.3L. After installing the Volant CAI, about a week later the check engine light came on. I never had any idling problems though. I unplugged the battery for an hour, although some said 20 min should do it. Reconnected started up and no CEL now. I ran a OBD2 code reader and there were no codes pending or present. When the CEL was lit up, Onstar said that the problem was with the "engine fuel control system" I am thinking that unplugging the battery helped reset the computer. It is likely that the computer is still learning from the MAF and maybe the light could go back on. Haven't got that far yet though.
