The steering wheel thing is normal.

As far as the CEL goes, just disconnect the battery for about 15 minutes, then reconnect it and let it idle for about another 15 minutes.

The two best suggestions I would recommend would be to:

1) Contact AEM. You obviously won't be the first person to contact them about this issue. Try to have the issue escalated and handled with in the most positive way possible. I know their technical support sucks, but trying to be irrate about it won't get you anywhere.

2) Arrange a weekend to re-install everything. I sold my AEM CAI to another member on this board and he was able to install it without any problems. On the other hand, I kept getting a CEL with it.
