Default 6.2 check engine light

Ok so I put a volant cold air kit on my 11' 6.2 and after I drove about 100 miles the check engine light came on.... Disconnected battery to reset the computer and it came back on after 100 miles or so.... Anyone have any problems with this kit and/or have any suggestions?

Haven't really noticed any difference but I haven't really got on it yet truck has only 1300 miles..... Will take it and get it scanned as soon as I can get to a shop just wanted to see if it is a tuning deal like it is running to lean cause of the kit

I had the same problem! Check every single connection. Might even take it off and put back together extra careful! Make sure all clamps are tight and leak free. Mine had a broken hose clamp then i had the tube too close to the throttlebody and it pulled the tube off at the airbox. Slowly but surely bud!


you might even have to get it tuned as i was still running a bit lean and had to richen up my fuel to +5
