Check engine light...
Last night my check engine light came on. This morning we took it to Auto Zone to check the code. The code that came up was P2179. I have been reading old threads and saw that the k&n ingske can cause this? I have a v6, with the k&n intake with the black tubing. Do I just need to take it off and put the stock on? I just don't want to keep it on if it will cause a problem. :(

I found this, I don't know if it's the same intake but it might be worth a shot to put the stock back on and see if it's still throwing the code

Sometimes adding aftermarket parts throws a code.
-Try checking everything, making sure it is tight and installed correctly. -Check the MAF sensor, make sure it is not upside down or backwards, -try cleaning it the MAF -Disconnect the battery for a few minutes, see if the code resets. - the V6 models are more likely to throw a code when you change the amount of air coming into the system.

K&n is going to replace the intake. They can't send a new one so he's going to send me a refund for it. Something with that intake. Now I'm trying to figure out how to get cel off. Already put stock back on. :(

Go with a CAI, Rotofab, or Vararam... You will not be disappointed.

Aww, don't be bummed... At least you are getting your money back...
And, for what it's worth, of the top brands of intakes, (CAI, RotoFab, Vararam, Volant, K&N...) the K&N is at the bottom of the list from a performance standpoint... yeah yeah, I know some people will get mad at that last statement, but the numbers do not lie.
