Have you checked the code? I have a feeling it couldn't be the O2 sensor if you just installed a CIA. Maybe something's just disconnected.

Make sure all your clamps are really tight and you no vaccuum leaks, and they are all connected. That usually throws a code.

Did you install the IAT into the pipe and reconnect it?

Yea, I did check the IAT....

Also,
I checked the code using that stupid papercclip method, and it came up as "Evaporative Emissions System Control Leak in Gas Tank Area"

I thought mabye my gas cap is loose, but i checked it and it was on really tight, so I'm still lost.....ugh
