I get a call from Kingz (Luis). He is on the way back from NY when his S starts to bog really bad. Pulls off the highway and the car stalls. He is able to start it and it will run at idle with a CEL at about 1000 RPM. Shortly thereafter the idle will drop to 300ish. If he touches the throttle it will stall.
I'll be relaying any suggestions.
Thoughts??

 

Sorry, I got nothing.
I would be calling AAA for a flatbed.
Wish him good luck!

 

sounds like heatsoak, but in an extreme way quick things to try open hood let it cool some, turn off the ac if its running and reset ecu by unhooking battery.

 

damn...time for flatbed. maybe get better answers in under the hood forum

 

sounds like he killed it

could he have overreved it?

or

if he never had the spark plug tsb done it could have dropped a plug into the cylinder

how about giving the map sensor a whack?

 

is there an ecu fuse??

 

And I think heatsoak is only when the car is stationary and can't move the heat out of the bay via fresh moving air.

 

don't waste your time.. wont help

the ecu fuse is the same as the radio fuse - think it's a 7.5 under the dash
