Did you remove/change your shroud? If so, there is a sensor on the drivers side of the radiator, could it have been not reconnected?

Do you have a Code Reader??? Anyone attempting "mods" on a C6 really needs one. This is the I and many buddies use - http://www.diydiagnostics.com/ make sure which ever code reader you buy supports CANBUS (Controller Area Network). Best $65 you can spend especially if it saves you a trip to the dealer.

Good luck these cars are so finicky especially when messing around with the air intake and AFR's.
