Default Throttle Warning Light

Hi everyone,
New to this site but looks great!!!
My problem may seem stupid to most but here it is.
Over a year a ago i added a vortex cat back system and loved the power and the noise, but last night i added a cold air intake from ebay and hooked it all up and when out for the road test and loved it.........until I went to do a brake stand which usually is no problem and the throttle response warning light kept coming on and stopping what ever performance i was about to do.
So I have 3 questions
  1. Has this happened to anyone else?
  2. What is, if any the cure?
  3. How do I get my pride back from the chevy on-lookers who say my failed burnout?

im not positive on the first two, but i can solve #3.

1.) hook up to the chevy
2.) put in 4x4 if you have it
3.) hold the brake until he starts to spin
4.) give it some gas and pull him around the parking lot

now whos laughin

Chevys always laugh on the sidelines, mainly because they cant even participate. I dont even know what a throttle light is....

Give your truck sometime to learn the new air before you go doing brakestands.

Electronic Throttle Control nag light - it trips if there is an inconsistency between the peddle position and the engine's fuel delivery.
