ok a new problem i was at a light and i opened it up in first and hit the rev limiter and the damn thing went into reduced mode...i shut it down waited a couple min started it again and still reduced mode now my car is sitting...what happened??no smoke no leaking of any kind

 

your in limp mode

first things first learn to shift...

second disconnect the battery for 5-10min and it will clear...

 

Take your throttlebody off and check those pins inside the electrical connector. I bet one of them is bent and not making a connection. Happened to me, I couldn't figure out WTF was wrong with it until I found that. I drove around in limp mode after I went stage 2 for weeks. It sucked. Also check to make sure that your intake piping is secure (although I don't think this will throw it into limp but check it just to be sure).

 

well i'm not at the car right now but unplugging the battery did nothing its still in limp mode....

well the tire spun so it hit it and then just died...that shouldn't happen. its a rev limiter...i'm thinking it may be a sensor

cam or crank or somehting

and my car is not under warrenty so what would i be looking at price wise for a new crank position sensor and install if thats what it is

 

have u got the code from an obd2 yet? that will let you know what sensor is broken/ unpluggged

 

no i i don't have a scanner....i can't imagine what else it may be if something internal broke in would be pouring smoke out the back...so i'd beat on a sensor but how much is theis **** gonna cost me

has anything like this happened to anypne else before and not be able to get out of limp mode????this happened before and then when i shut the car off for 5 min it went away//but its not doing it this time

 

Get the code read and see what it is. Only way we can tell you.

 

when it happened to me a sensor had unpugged. without a odb2 sensor its a million in one shot to whats the problem. Just take the car to an autozone

 

ok so i just scanned it and its a throttle position sensor is there any easy fix to this or is it shop work..note i have no warrenty

and what exactly is it does it have to do with the throttle body

 

Check the plug below the throttle body, i just spent 98 bucks from a dealer to plug in my ******* cord....... it fell off twice putting it into limp mode. so wiggle it around and who knows it may start right up.

 

ok i'll try i hope so i'm not at the car but if that dosen't work what else could i try....the code said low circuit a so whatever that is

is that that big sensor underneath right before the end plate

 

yeah its the sensor thats a bitch to get too under the throttle body, high rpm's can shake it loose some times worth a try.

 

ok yea i know what you mean the hardest one to put back on after taking te blower off i'll give it a shot sounds like it may work...and if it dosen't i need a new sensor right???

 

same thing happened here with the same sensor. Just came unplugged

 

after hitting the rev limiter tho???

that would make sense cause the last time i put that sensor on i don't think i was able to get it to clilck and lock in i remember having to **** with it ok i'll go give it a shot

 

wtf my car is doing the same thing it happen last night it wont even go over 45mph it sucks its not even drive able i got passed by a ******* prius man im hurt.

 

and the car read the code before i even crank the engine...so it may just sense that a sensor is unplugged...but again what if this dosen't work???then what did i do.

 

ya it was loose after we removed it to be ported i guess after a few days of spirited driving (but no wot) i floored it and bamb limp mode. Never hit the rev limiter but im assuming the limiter just helped it fall off/get loose

well try it first.

 

^^^^^^^^^^^

 

ok just want to say thanks to everyone...i popped the hood looked at the sensor connecter and it looked on but i went to go grab it and it just feel right off so i plugged it back in started her up and she's running 100% again

 

if you scanned the car...did you try clearing it..with the same tool....and driving it?

 

Good job, glad the internet helped you out.

 

The Same Thing Happened To Me. It Ran Good For A While But Then Came Back. Turned Out To Be The Map Sensor. This Was 3 Mths Ago. Now Like New

 

no i didn't clear it...it will clear after driving some much on its own..i always have a cel anyways i have no cat and still didn't put the spacer in yet
