did you use a homemade unit or a pre-made one. you must use all the original sensors, or your car won't run right. having "too much air" does not exist. the computer will adjust. disconnecting the battery does nothing as far as resetting the computer. check that all the sensors are connected properly. if they are not installed, the install them. any major brand kit will use all factory sensors and still meet emissions, and run properly if installed right. if it's not running right, you didn't install it right. go back through the instructions step by step.
