Have you tried resetting the ECU? It may be worht a shot.
Disconnect the neg batt terminal and leave it that way for @ least 10 mins. During this time, also try turning on the ignition, radio, blower motor, anything that might draw power through the ECU just to make sure all the capacitors in the system are fully discharged. Then reconnect and see if that solves your problem.

Like virgin1 said try resetting the ECU. Oh and for discharging the capacitors you should be able to do that by pushing and holding the brake pedal a few times.
If that doesn't work then I would ask your dealer if there's a ECU reflash available for your car. If there is then remove your CAI and go get them to do it for you. You could also try removing the CAI and see if it does better after the reset.... I doubt that's it, but it's always something to try.
Have you gotten any CEL's?
