    Did you unhook the battery before you installed it?? It may have something to do with the MAF.

    Don't know why the traction control light would be on....

    i didnt unplug the battery before i hooked it up. i was thinking of disconnecting the battery hoping maybe it would reset the system. everythings hooked up accordingly. i follwed to instructions step by step.

    Sounds like something is unplugged. I know you said you did everything right but we all make mistakes. If its still on, hook up your stock one and see if it still happens.

    x2 this is true. If you really want to make the intake work, get a replacement Volant or TRD cai filter.

    should ask him. if he works there (by "there" I'm guessing you mean K&N) then he should know

    yea he works at k&n. but hes not one of the guys that builds them or specializes in the filter itself. hes an elctrician that works on the machines. so not much good that would do me.
