Hackish, or somebody who understands the ECU better would probably be able to explain this, but a bad O2 sensor could throw off the calculation, causing a lean AFR, could it not?...to me, i think lanzer is right, those codes all point to the O2, and you said yourself it's not connected...i wouldn't consider a CAI to be the problem...

I had an o2 sim that extended the o2 sensor. That caused the wires from the o2 sensor to rub against the heat shield underneath the car. Everytime it would rain, my ecu fuse under the hood would pop. Someone in the evo section was having the same problem and thats what it was. Now i have an o2 sim thats shaped like an L and that took care of it. I wouldnt try to connect the wires back together, I'd just get another sensor.

Perhaps the engine is programmed to rev a little higher when the air con is first enabled and is putting an extra load on the engine. Higher revs would get the pump going without the idle revs getting too low then the car possibly stalling.

Well I'm glad you got it sorted out , looks like just bad cheap gas was the culprit then.

How about a few pics of your ride??
