Was racing a turbo'd scion tc on the highway...got up to 145mph and car just shoke and engine light came on and in the info center said ENGINE POWER REDUCED....can it be a over boosting problems that caused it....i do have the boost mod and 2.9 pulley..weather was in the mid 60's....boost was at 18psi..went down to 60mph and tryed to press the gas didnt do nothing..no codes popped up or anything..just said ENGINE POWER REDUCED and engine light came on..stopped at a gas station to see whats up and car kinda choked when it came to a stop..didnt turn of or anything...i let it sit for 10min and unplugged the battery to reset ecu,went back on the highway and feels fine...

and Yes i won the race...2 car win

 

no my car did this to me 2 times.... it did it to me when i was playin around speed shiftin to 5th..... i think its bc we hit the rev limiter and stayed to long... i think ne ways... and you dont have to wait 10 mins 30 secs or so is good.

 

i thought my motor blew..i was like ****,first thing on my mind was,"how am i goin to explain this to my parents."

 

yea... when mine did it the other day it started skippin and sputterin... i was like motha ......... i just got done racing myself... i was like ive only had this car 6 months or so...

 

sounds like the imfamous "limp mode"

 

wat causes the limp mode to kick in?to much boost and no enough fuel

 

Pcm sensed abuse and shut you down to protect your engine !

 

sounds like fuel cut....

 

im i understanding your running 2.9 pully on stock injectors?

 

disconnect ur battery for 10 mins it will reset it

 

nA stg 2 injectors

 

I agree
Engine hit "Limp mode"

 

danm 145mph if really abuse on the motor lol....so if i decide to top the car out i will keep getting the LIMP MODE turned on to protect the motor..how gay is that,i want my neon back
