Would a loose gas cap cause my Z to go into LIMP MODE? This happened yesterday, (car went into limp mode until I restarted it) and my Service Engine Soon light has remained on. I discovered a loose gas cap.

 

 

Viagra will take care of that limp mode issue.

 

don't see how the two could be related but then again, I am on my like third session of blow of the evening.

 

test it.. find a someone else with a Z and loosen their gas cap. .MU HAHAHAH. . and see what happens!!!. .

NO MAN. .a loose gas cap will probably set a CEL for EVAP LEAK.. .thats about it. .. im thinking you've got other problems so see what the light's about. .prob bad THrottle body. .



PS. . .pass the baby powder. . .

 

whats up with the limp mode these days? hadnt heard about it until the last couple days. Limp threads popping up everywhere

 

buy a premier membership plenty of goodies in the ag section to fix that limp mode thing

 

don't know where limp mode came from. .but it's usually cause by a bad throttle body or mass air flow meter .i get it all the time with the maxima's and altimas at my shop. .never had a Z come in with it. .but like the good old days i always had my guys clean out the throttle body plate when doin a tuneup or what not .. messed up one altima's TB by moving the plate with it still plugged in. .that messes up the sensing. .luckily had my buddy at the dealer reprogram it for me. .and worked fine..other then that so far i had to replace 2 TB's and about a dozen MAF's. .
