a moderator should move this post to the q45 section or the Infiniti tech section where it will be seen by all the Q gearheads.

Here's an old thread on the subject:

Wes must have solved the problem, but I don't remember where he posted it. My first thought, of course, is that you bumped something during the oil change, maybe a disconected vacuum hose, or a connector. It's tight in there. Take a good look. Mighty coincidental.

Been doing some searching for you and also came up with this:

The last post is a diagnosis procedure from the FSM:

"(diagnostic procedure 33. EF-EC 176) and it talks about unplugging the MAF, and then starting and running the engine at 2000RPM for 30 seconds, and if the engine speed drops then its an air leak....

Did you do it hte proper way from the bottom?

Many opportunities to dislodge connectors and such when attempted from the top.
