First signs of trouble

Went to Disney on ice this evening. When we got back to the car I started it up and it started shaking! THe check engine light came on and I got a VDC error. I shut the car off and restarted it and it was fine. Only mod is K&N filter. Anyone??

17k miles
50 degrees F
Car was running fine.

Maybe it ate a BMW while you were at the show?

From what I am hearing lately maybe the K&N filter doesn't work right for the GS or at least your setup. If this is on an intake then the ECU remap is needed and make sure there is plenty of air for it to breath properly. If this is just some drop in filter then I would say it is the product. Either way, time for the boys at L take a look. I would have a heart attack if that happened to me.

It's a Lexus, anything like that is worth looking at. GL
