It also logs RPM. They'll know the gear you were in, throttle voltage, RPM, knock, etc., etc. I've seen warranties voided for going above speed limit or abusing the car. This will defiantly qualify as both.

 

agreed with slowswap but i believe the car is in limp mode to protect it self any lights come on or messages in the diplay

 

Slowswap is right all of the details of your little 120+ cruise will be stored in freeze frame data, but it will only show where all the readings were at the time a code was set. The main reason a tech looks at this is to help duplicate or recreate the condition that caused this to happen so they can determine the cause of the code. If they see you were doing 120 when the code set, you may have a problem on your hands.

If the problem is obvious then you will probly be ok. Sounds to me like your electronic throttle control is messed up, one of the sensors on the TB probly took a crap. You might have popped a vacuum line off too...

 

u think transmission could be a problem?
i mean...i just dont want that...in case my warranty is voided..i have to spend a lot outta my pocket..i was barly starting to save up some money ...hopefully not all of it goes towards this.

 

Nothing you described sounds like transmission as a lot of people have stated.

 

No, i think this has to do with your throttle control, did it feel like it was slowing down when you were still giving it gas or what? Also what makes you think it may be a trans issue? Any weird noises?

 

HHHmmm sounds like you may have burnt out spark plugs, or worse case senario fucked up the cams or even the trans/ but if you can run the car in all gears i doubt it is the trans

answer me this:
-does it clunk?
-is there smoking coming out?
-when it runs does the exhaust sputter?

if your saying it bogs out, you could have killed the spark plugs...its happened to me before doing crazy speeds.

Im in Hesperia, PM me and I can come help you

This exact same thing happened to me. What I did was look at where the PCM is right under the fuse box. One of the clamp thingies that holds some of the wires was loose. Put it back no more CEL or funky RPM's.

 

well...i dont know much but my friends were saying its the tranny
and yea....my foot was all the way in the gas..5th gear...all i could get to was like 60mph...

they said could be motor mounts i guess the motor was vibrating a lot..

or moving..probably knocking?..

 

Full throttle 5th gear is all fail to start with. The car went into limp mode, which is why it dragged the RPM's back to prevent you from damaging it. Motor mounts have nothing to do with speed or limp mode?????

 

Stop listening to your friends!!! Pop the hood and look around, look for anything that looks loose or out of place. Does the engine sound normal when it's idleing? i mean no pecking or knocking sounds? Will the car go into gear and move if you let out on the clutch?

The reduced engine power mode will stop you from accelerating...

 

why were you all the way in the gas below 60mph in 5th gear??

 

well..thats when i threw it in 4th...

and...i mean....i didnt wanna push it..but i only went 60mph til i got off the next exit

 

Check the PCM like I posted before. Sound to much like my car not to long ago

 

no the ideling is not normal at all

when i try to gas it to go..it will just turn off...
..i have to turn it on..and if i try to give it some gas, it doesnt really take it..
the car is on its way to my house right now.
then i'll poke around see if i can find the problem..

it sounds nasty though...

HOW do i check the PCM?

...

...well...its just hard to make it run...

since i was already going on the freeway..i was able to shift down and take it from there..

but from 0...its dead..

id say to take it home. check the PCM Connections i guess. dissconnet the battery for 10 mins or more. then maybe pull the plugs and check them. kind of hard to call what the problem might be cant really get a solid description. it starts and idles rought, RPM's all over, now can you tach the motor up and raise the R's or will it not do that at all?

 

when i try to gas it..in neutral...

it probably reaches..lik.e....3000 rpms...tops.maybe 4000

 

This

Also this.

 

it wont in gear? its a stick right?

and if it is a stick( i thought it was cause i thought it was an SS) and you bring the r's up what happens when you let the clutch out will the car move or does it just lose all its oomph? in that case i may lean towards a clogged cat.

 

ChargedUp It looks like this. Check the connections to the blue, black,and grey. Make sure the clamps are not loose they have to clip or lock in place. It fixed my problem.

 

that's normal for the autos... pretty sure it cuts at 4,000

 

Still dont understand why people want to street race.

 

If cars sitting and it went limp, that's your prob clear code. Or disconnect battery, for 10 .

 

right but by the Pic in his profile it looks to be a SC car.

 

with your ignition on reach under the hood and yank the fuel line loose then toss a lit cigarette in the engine bay. that will reset your computer and you won't have to worry about anymore error codes
