I'm guessing fuse also but not sure which one. Does it turn over and just not start? If it doesn't turn over, starter might be bad?

Did you reset your ECU after you put on your intake?

I don't think that'd be the problem. If it was, the car probably wouldn't run at all or it'd probably throw a code.
