2005 PT Cruiser Turbo GT. Rough Idle after new air intake and BOV installed.

About a week ago, I installed a new K&N Typhoon air intake and BOV on my '05 PT Cruiser Turbo GT convertible. Has been running great until this morning. Went to start it up and the idle is very rough. Engine light comes on. Sounds terrible when I pushed the accelerator. Turned it off and tried again with same results. Any ideas?

Inspect things under the hood very carefully and see if maybe a vacuum hose popped off.

Also, a hose clamp might not have been tightened down all the way, something worked its way loose and there is now an air leak. You can sometimes detect such things by letting the car idle while listening for unusual sounds with the hood open.
