you might want to consider removing any modifications and getting the car's engine back to stock appearance. ( remove things like your CAI)

This way the dealer can't say that the problem was due to your modifications to the engine.

Hmm sound a little like if the timing belt was broque or if your engine block cap was bloke. Hmmm go to the dealer. Do not try to turn it on again.
