Traction control Light with new Intake

I decided to Put a New Air filter in the 2.2 along with a intake arm and Now my lights are going crazy ... The T/C light turns on and my gears jump way to fast when they are switching with my auto....Whats weird is when I turn the car off it goes away and seems to pop back on when I go past 65 mph.....I bought a air sensor and installed it wich worked fine for a few days with no T/C light but then it poped back on again...ITs really anoyying but i Love the sound of the Filtler and hoes ...Makes it sound 20 Times better .....Any advice plz

An intake like that should not cause a problem that you are describing. Best bet, is to take it to the dealership to get it checked out before something serious happens.

I guess if it's a true CAI and you had to take the wheel off and you were messing around in there, you could have messed up one of the wheel sensors so the readings are messed up and that would cause the traction control and light to come on if it thinks the wheel is doing something it's not supposed to be doing. It's not a common problem, but not unheard of. If you were messing around near a wheel check to make sure you didn't do anything to the sensor or wires.
