ok, this has been going on for a long time now. i will go into limp mode in mostly 2nd gear around 4500 rpm. turn car off, then back on after a few seconds and it will drive normal until i go wot again and bam, limp mode again. it does this every few days, it sucks so bad, i can't drive the car the way i want to. i should have my new plugs tomorrow. is it anyway that fouled plugs can cause a car to go into limp mode ? How about the MAF. is there a way to test if it's bad and sending a bad signal to the ecu ? or any other ideas ? thanks guys.

 

DId you get the A/F at idle figured out ? Sounds like you have a host of problems going on . And they are more than likely all related.....Did you go threw all your wiring yet ?

 

Should have bought a Turbo!!!

second smart A$$ one liner I've read from you today .

backagain....have you been able to figure any thing out with the ....A/F at idle...limp mode ????

 

is it a automatic or manual?

 

boog, not yet, i just got my new plugs in the mail today, hopefully will get a chance to put them in tomorrow, it still sputters when it's first cranked, but only does it a few times, then runs normal.

cpracez, it's a manual

 

I had the same problem when I was running too rich

 

i really hope that is the issue, anyone want to head down to the panhandle of fl and help me tune my car on a back road somewhere
