First, Use your tuner to read the code and report back here. Then check all of your connections, especially the MAF harness. Also check for any intake leaks downstream of the MAF sensor.

And... Welcome to AFM!

Make sure you didn't put the MAF in backwards. There is an arrow indicating flow direction.

Not sure if you can on the JLT or not. But that would certainly do it.
