I don't think it is the CAI. I think you have a problem with the Idle air control valve (IACV). It could be the swirl air controller, but IACV seems more likely.

Yeah, idle control valve sounds right to me. No way your CAI would do that. I've had my CAI for over 3 years now and never had it do anything close to that.
