I have a 2011 Toyota tundra with 250k miles the check engine light came on as well as the traction control light on and the truck has slow takeoff and acceleration the slow acceleration is bad when it's cold outside but once the truck warms up it's not as bad but still does it tho, the truck came with an aftermarket cold intake I wonder if that's what causing the check engine light to come on

In my experience, after market cold air intake kits on newer computer controlled vehicles are a disaster.  Go back to stock.  Same with LED bulbs.


I have one question @doc. Why would LED bulbs be a disaster if it doesn't use much energy compared to other bulbs? Computer- controlled?


Yes, without a very specific installation kit with resistors and wiring, they will mess up your system. You can't just replace the incandescent bulbs with LED.


Well that's something good to know. I remember my uncle installing it in the Subaru Forester and turns out it didn't work, but his Honda Odyssey did.


Depends on the vehicle.  I would do some extensive research before attempting the conversion.
