Urgent; My Car Won't Accelerate
 

Everyone ... I need your knowledge. While driving on the freeway, my car's slip and vdc and SES turned on. My friend says it's in limp mode. What the hell is wrong with my car?

It barely accelerates

It won't go passed 45 mph

Can anyone help me? I'm desperate right now. Please help.

something like this happened to me once ( wouldn't go past 3rd and the vdc turned on) but i just turned the car off and back on and it went back to normal. idk how to help..maybe try disconnecting the battery terminal and let it sit overnight disconnected??? i have no clue and i dont claim to be a technician lol worth a try though

i always heard that disconnecting overnight would reset the system though..
****just the negative side though

ya try a reset and see if it helps

I'll try a reset ... but does anyone know what could cause this?

throw a twin turbo kit on it

Good advice, bro. I'll consider that.

Anyways, I started the car today and it seems to rev normal, and the Traction and slip lights are off now. But the SES light is still on. Hopefully the dealership will fix it tomorrow

What did the dealer say? The exact same thing happened to my Z this afternoon.

send it to the dealer

You're a genius.

fuck yea i am bitch

+1 and a whore, slut, and skank all rolled up into one!

you're azn.....your pee pee must be.............

:(

i thought that was good advice :confused:

it's ok.........i'm azn too

I don't think it is - as soon as it happened i knew i was taking it to the dealer. All i asked is what the deal said, not where should i take my car... :icon43:


Either way, i took Michael's Godly advice and took it to the dealer this morning.

So I guess your speaking from experience?

I had the same thing happen, on the freeway and all of a sudden, couldnt accelerate the car no matter what gear I was in. Turns out that the Speed Sensor was busted on my 05. Nissan replaced it out and no problem since. But once they run the diagnostic test, they should know exactly.

They said it was something in my "throttle chamber" - i'm assuming it was the throttle positioning sensor but who knows...all i know is that it's fixed now.
