You cleaned the MAF sensor? With what, soap and water? My money's on the MAF....

did you let it dry completely again? Anytime I clean anything... MAF, intake, throttle body, etc. I let it sit over night to be SURE it's dry before turning it on. Could be your plugs... but doubt you got that much water vapor in the engine. I drove my car with a CAI right past Noah in his boat and never had issues (I knew the risks). I'd be interested in what the code was... try Pep Boys or Autozone and get the code read.

REDTOBLACK, how many of us suggested you blow out your engine compartment and wait until the AM before you restarted your G? Resetting the ECU requires your leaving the negative battery side off for longer than 15 minutes, I suggest at least an hour, many members recommend leaving it off over night works best. If you're going to ignore our advice, why bother asking?
