Warning lights on dash

Wasnt pushing the car hard when it started to shift hard.it would rev higher than normal and then eventually shift hard causing the car to jerk.i turned the car off and let it sit for a while,and when I started driving again it was fine.the next day I was driving around and the service engine soon light and i think the traction control light lit up on the dash.after these warning lights came on,i could feel a huge power loss when I stepped on the gas.

does anyone know whats goin on?

I just installed the stillen gen 3 like 3 weeks ago,so maybe it could be somthing with the sensors?

Sounds like your ECM is in “limp mode”.

I would suspect that any problems resulting from your CAI installation would have probably happened just after it was installed and not 3 weeks later, unless the connector from a MAF sensor came loose or something like that.

I would take your car back to your dealership and have them check it out ASAP. Depending on your dealership’s attitude towards aftermarket parts and mods, you might consider removing your Stillen CAI before you take the car in for service so they don’t try and blame the problem on the CAI or something you did.

maybe something went wrong with your MAF sensor when installing CAI.

Would it take 3 weeks to go bad or would it happen right away?u just have to un screw the sensors and make sure u put them back on the proper sides right?
