CTS intake and CEL on

Just installed a CTS intake on my 440 and after a couple days the car threw a check engine light. Ran a diagnostic the code was p120d for intake (from what I’ve googled). Has anyone had this with any solution? I cleared the code on a scanner and it threw the code again after a day. I checked all the hoses and clamps everything is tight with no leaks.

From what I've heard it's mainly the position of the sensor that will pretty much always cause it to throw a CEL. I haven't heard of any fix for it yet, most people just clear it whenever it pops up.

Garage List
install your original intake back on and reset everything, go for a long drive, then get the inspection then install your cst intake back in

My issue was that despite the CEL, I had hesitation and stalling issues.
