Engine Power Reduced?
My car has randomly done this 3 times.. Says engine power reduced.. And immediately surges bad and forces me to turn the car off.
Throws two codes: P1182 and P0068.
I can simply clear the codes once or twice OR wait about 10 minutes after it happens and turn my car on and it goes completely back to normal.
Has this happened to anyone? What was the problem.. and more importantly the fix?
It's intake related I believe so I am hesitant on taking it to the dealership. And if I put stocker back on and go in I'm afraid it might not have the problem anymore?
My buddy looked it up and seems that it's just something like a recall but not quite?
Any info on this would be appreciated.. Thanks

This is from ethan's post in the nor cal thread, for info for anyone looking.
DTC P1182
Circuit Description
Important: The following applies to the intake air flow system performance diagnostic that is used in this supercharged engine:
• When referring to the "intake manifold models", the plenum volume between the throttle body and the supercharger is considered to be the intake manifold.
• When referring to "engine pumping", the supercharger and the intercooler plenum are considered to be part of the engine.
• The manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor that resides in the engine intake manifold is used to adjust the engine air flow estimates to balance the air flow models.
The intake air flow system performance diagnostic provides the within-range rationality test for the mass air flow (MAF), the supercharger inlet pressure (SCIP), and the throttle position (TP) sensors. This is an explicit model-based diagnostic containing four separate models for the intake system.
• The throttle model describes the flow through the throttle body and is used to estimate the MAF through the throttle body as a function of barometric pressure (BARO), throttle position, intake air temperature (IAT), and estimated SCIP.
• The first intake manifold model describes the intake manifold and is used to estimate SCIP as a function of the MAF into the intake manifold from the throttle body and the MAF out of the intake manifold caused by engine pumping. The flow into the intake manifold from the throttle uses the MAF estimate calculated from the throttle model.
• The second intake manifold model is identical to the first intake manifold model except that the MAF sensor measurement is used instead of the throttle model estimate for the throttle air input.
• A fourth model is created from the combination and additional calculations of the throttle model and the first intake manifold model.

All the boost and vacuum numbers still read the same though. Kinda odd. it may be a leak somewhere ou the intake between the maf and the tb. i'm not exactly sure though.

It happened to me when I was racing my friend. I got scared zhitless, lol because it happened after I miss shifted into 4th. It has never happened again though. But yeah I turned off the car left it a bit and then turned it back on, and everything back to normal. I didn't race him again or anyone else after that just incase lol. I don't think I have an intake leak but I will check right now just incase.
My car did this too but the harness wasn't completely clipped into the throttle body and it just went closed on me and sat at idle. It scared the **** out of me too because it was right after i had the superharger off to port it and fill the holes. Easy fix for me
haha..damn..this happened to me too
i was racing a wrx
miss shifted 4th
something fucked up
took it to the dealership
been there for about a week and a half
they called me about 3 days ago..
its gonna be covered under warranty
should have it back in about a week or so..
idk what the problem was though he just basically told me
"you fucked your **** up"
he said there were a bunch of like broken nuts and bolts and just
"fucked your **** up"
lol

^ Hmmm.. Did you take it in w/ an aftermarket CAI?
Hmm.. Thanks for your input.. Hope mine can be an easy fix too.. This sucks.. 3 times it's happened already...
Yeah man it might happen again.. I had it happen once.. and then a few days later it happened two more times.. and here I am.. Waiting for it to happen again....
Hmmmm......... Lemme know what happens after you check your intake and what not..

mines does it. its been doin it for abouit 2-3 weeks in a row and it was cuz my intake manifold cracked all over the edge of the bolts where it sticks to the supercharger...yea its pretty bad. =( am looking for a stock intake so my warranty can fix it but it really sucks!!
