Ok, i installed my SLP CAI on my 97 Camaro the other day...YES i hooked up the little sensor correctly, the filters are on all the way and everything else is tightened properly...
Why is my SES light on?? I even put my stock intake assembly back on, the light went off...reinstalled the CAI....light came on shortly after.
Hmm... that's really strange. The only thing I could have thought of was the IAT sensor, but you said you've got that rigged up properly. Maybe someone else will have an idea?
EDIT: I suppose the only other thing I can think of doing at this point would be to get hooked up to a scanner and see what codes you're throwing.

I DIDN'T set a code with mine, FWIW. I have a 97 3.8L 5-speed, and added the SLP twin tube with no problem. It's probably loose somewhere, and you might be stretching a wire for or connected to the IAT harness.
Scan the code.

this is tricky, cuz mine did it to, the damn thing stayed on, but its been bout a month or so, then i reset my computer and the light came off, its stayed off for a couple of days now, so maybe it could be just the computer having to reset itself maybe i mean i have no idea, but it does have to re-adjust to the new added air intake i mean the cai flows a bunch more air then the stock, so maybe the computer is trying to adjust itself and its throwing a light, so i would say just drive it around for a while like it is and then reset the computer then see if the light is still on. thats what i did, it has stayed off for a couple of days anyways, so you never know, i ll let you know if it comes back on.
but heck i never know, it seems to work so i just put together the only explaination i could think of so maybe i helped ya out prob not though good luck

As for how to scan the codes - Do you have an AutoZone near you? I'm told that they'll scan them for free.
If not, see if you can find someone nearby with a scanner.
Otherwise you'll have to buy one or find some other place (perhaps a dealership?) that will scan it for you for a fee.
EDIT: Oh, and the scanner would hook up to the plug that's under your dash on the driver's side; right under the steering wheel basically. It'll let you pull the codes from the computer and clear the SES light.
