I am going to stray on this one and say its not a blown #4 and it doesn't sound like a wrx. The lope to the cam sound she is hearing isn't the wrx sound. I am guessing that the camshaft position sensor is on the fritz and or is broken.

Your first step hear is to scan the code. Also, start the car up tomorrow, or in a few hours, and let it idle tell its at 180 degrees, warm, and see how she sounds and drives then. Obviously don't go far.

 

haha thats my point. If he was not running it that hard and its cool out should have not hit limp mode unless somethign else caused it.

 

just limp mode dude. nothing to worry about. turn off car. disconnect batter for 10 minutes. turn the car back on

 

Could be but it could be anything needs to be scanned to know more

 

Also, the only time I've seen a LSJ blow is when the driver is on it.

WOT well into 3rd/4th does some damage if you don't know what's going on.

 

an lsj can and will blow in any gear, a lot of it has to do with the tuning but you know that.

However there is much more load/strain/stress on the engine in 3rd/4th at wot. *Especially 4th*

 

He's on GM tune.

 

I know, I was just stating in general. Although there are a few things I don't care for in the gm stage tunes. For example how rich they run them. Low 10 afr is just stupid...

 

she didnt blow

 

LNF swap my good man!!!

Even if the motor is ok!

 

hahahha or swap the supercharger for a hahns turbo kit it would be cheaper lol

 

limp mode.. clear codes.. drive on

 

cam shaft/crank position sensor or timing chain.

clear codes, if it still does it, enjoy replacing the timing chain.

#4 didnt pop or you would have worse issues than you are describing.

 

Man i thought this was another one of those girlfriend problems thread.

 

what the point of this thread? you wont even go start your freaking car after it was stated 20 times.

 

Point of this thread is, the person thought they blew there motor, probably didn't. Got all scared about it, woke up in the morning, started the car and it was fine. More then likely he/she put it in limp mode and thought it was blown lol.

They haven't replied/posted back in so who cares now.

 

Code P0068
Maf/map sensor
Throttle position correlation

Yea...shes good.
I was worried because before I left for work today I read the thread that Area47 posted about getting ready for winter...and people were talking about the 2.9 and S2 tune being a bad idea.
So first thing I thought was it popped. I have never been in a car that did that before so I freaked.
Me= mini fail.

Because I had to get up in a few hours to go to my other job...as I said, I would not be able to mess with it until I get home.

 

did u turn it on?

 

now obviously you need to clean the maf sensor, the throttle body, and the cai.

Also, the 2.9 pulley and the stage 2 tune is a very bad idea. I mentioned that in the thread multiple times. It's a big pet peeve of mine and always has been. Why would you want to starve your motor of fuel in the higher rpms where you need it the most!

07hhr - lol thats a good one.

 

same thing happened to me, like siad above 1.) start car it will be fine 2.) i would check the plugs, and clean MAF and all is well.

 

how many miles did you have on the car when that happend
