Default Check Engine Light After ITR IM Install

Ok well I installed an ITR intake manifold w/ fuel rail and injectors about 3 days ago and have had no problems, runs great. But today, I was driving and noticed my check engine light was on and pulled over and checked what the code was, it was a code 45 (running too rich or lean) and I pretty much figure it's running rich because of the ITR injectors. My question is, will this lead to problems and should I just put the stock b16 injectors in? Thanks

ITR injectors are the same size as 00 si injectors... both are 240cc. how's the idle, is it jumpy or is it steady?

Hmm ok well the idle is fine, except for when I just tap the gas. When I just tap it and let it go to like 1.5-2k it comes back down and bogs down almost till it stalls it feels like and then goes back up to like 700 or so.

Unplug your ECU (or pull the ECU fuse) for about half an hour to reset the ECU so it's XRAM is erased, then see how it goes. The ECU needs to relearn with your new bolt-ons..

update

Check Engine Light came back on, I reset the ECU just in case, but I have a feeling my car is running lean. It seems to kinda hesitate when I push on the gas and if I'm at higher RPMs it doesn't feel like it's going as fast as it should. Not sure what to do, any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
