Code po113 is what comes up when i ran the code. Air intake sensor was replaced and it still won't go off. The AutoZone representative said to drive it for a while and it will correct itself, but it has not done that.

Have you tried deleting the code with a scanner? If not, that should do it. If it doesn't, disconnect the battery for at least 30 minutes. That should reset it.

Take a look through this link:

Now, the AutoZone person is telling you to drive it because the computer should recognize the part was replaced. However, there may be a different underlying problem causing the code that has not been addressed. In that case, the light won't go off. If you reset it as I described, it should go off but may come back on if the problem isn't fixed.

If that doesn't help, let me know. Also, if you have other questions, feel free to ask.

Take care,
Joe

P0113, should clear after 5 ignition and run cycles without detecting a fault. If you have driven more than that it is likely that it is a wiring problem and not the sensor. A common area is the connector and the harness where it goes from the engine across to the PCM.
