Default Check engine light on. WTF?

Driving home on Saturday night the check engine light came on. Now I haven't changed anteing on the car in the 2 yrs I've had it. The car runs fine nothing noticeable that would indicate a problem? Help.

pull codes. If you don't have a reader, go to Autozone & have them pull them.

Just swing by an autozone and have them read the code (only one I know for sure does it ((and free)). Im sure an Advanced auto parts could do it too. And see what codes its throwing to see whats wrong.

Mr. Ski posted right before me..... basically what he said

Or you can swing by Autozone or most any auto parts place and they'll pull the code for free (Sorry, had to....).

Asking for help as you did is like saying "something hurts, what's causing it?" to your doctor over the phone.

Was on the phone with brenspeed, the tech said that because I have a 2nd generation JLT cold air intake running on the stock tune thats more than likely causing the engine light. Im the 2nd owner and the previous owner claims to have put the original stock tune back on the car when he sold it to the dealer, but he let all the performance parts on the car. Simply amazing
