id say something has to do with the convertors or exhaust install. id wait to get a tune then see if problem goes away first. traction control will not work with a mas air code being thrown. it will stay in the off mode.

are you running K&N? try to clean your maf but take care for the 2 thin wires. clean it then while disconnecting the battery and see how it goes.
