Default Check engine/tcs lights

Hey guys ill make this as short as possible. While partaking in spirited driving I matted the gas through a turn in 1st gear shifted to second and the car was in limp mode with check engine and tcs lights on solid. . Got home and shut the car down. Now it will start but immediately dies. I tried disconnecting the battery but that didn't fix it. Oil is fine, everything in the bay looks fine visually. I don't have time to further inspect due to my work schedule. Car has a takeda intake and borla exhaust. 2011 with 36k on it. Any suggestions would be nice. Exhaust was dealer installed. Thanks.

It's most likely caused by the intake. Just remove it, reset the battery and it will start.

I've had the same things when I tried installing my intake. Finally gave up and just removed it.

I've ran for months with the intake successfully but it's worth a shot. I assume it was a MAF issue? Or vacuum?

If you drive civilly the cel will reset itself. You need to find out the code but you can still drive until then. Just keep it cool.
