Default Traction Control Issues

I have a 2002 Mustang GT. After replacing the stock intake manifold with an aftermarket typhoon intake manifold the traction control will not turn on. I am about to purchase the diablosport predator tuner, which has a switch that you can turn the trac control on and off. Will it still turn it on with this intake? Has anyone else had this problem?

Tracton Control has NOTHING to do with your intake. The traction control Module is below your air filter (Kind of, inside the engine bay near radiator), maybe you knocked a wire loose or something while messing with the intake? And are you saying the traction control wont turn on? As in, it will just keep spinning? or you cant turn it off, so that you can keep spinning?

The traction control stays off so it spins alot on take off instead of gripping the road.

Soo.... On your button in your console, is the light on, or off? And traction control doesn't magically make you grip the road, it simply reduces power (mainly through spark and fuel) ONCE the tires start to spin.
