Later on in the day after lunch, I got to the car to start and it barely starts. The engine is bucking in the engine bay as I pull out of the parking lot, so I turn around and pull into another parking lot. I have the car towed to the dealer and am paying him to swap back to the OEM airbox since he now has the car, then he will start diagnosing the problem.
Anyone have any ideas on what could be wrong with the car, and also what damage I might have done by running the engine while it is exceptionally lean?
Thanks for any help/insight.

it could be the sensor on the throttle body, b/c I remember when I installed my friends AEM CAI into his 5th gen, the car didn't start and it was b/c my other friend was leaning on top of the car and made the connection loose, so it wouldn't start it would just sound like it would start but didn't start ya know, needless to say i found the problem, b/c i was fixing connectons that i thought were loose i tightened the connection and the car started fine and everything was ok, Umm about running Lean, i don't want to give you info. that i am not 100% sure about, But there was a recent thread about running rich and lean... try dong a search about it....
