Exclamation engine hesitation after fujita sri install

Just installed the fujita sri for my 07 civic ex. I have noticed a significant hesitation in the motor when I go to take off. My rpm's drop to about 500 and almost stalls on me. It is a standard shift and I don't know why it is doing this to me, any suggestions and what i can do to fix? i've heard unhooking the negative battery cable and reseting the ecu. I'm not sure really what to do

Were any sensors left unplugged after the installation, whether it be on accident or due to the new intake not having a place for the sensor?

Also, do you have the check engine light on?

As weird as this sounds, I had a similar issue way back before I boosted. I installed my Injen intake, but for some reason, I too had a hesitation. Turns out that by some weird coincidence, I guess I bumped my plug wires just right that it messed one up. Once I replaced my ignition stuff (ie dizzy cap and rotor, wires, plugs (theyre the cheapest to start with before you start divin into the distributor components)) then it cleared up. I mean, honestly, a hesitation in driving sounds more like an ignition/spark issue or you left a sensor unplugged.

That may be a loose clamp or pinched hose, allowing unmetered air into your engine. I would recommend that you go back and recheck all the fittings.
