I have no way of hooking my car up to an obd2 scanner so i dn't know what code my car is throwing exactly. It will drive fine for like 10 minutes then the car wants to shut off and the cel comes on. I give the car alil gas to keep it running but it won't rev pas 3500rpms. If i let go of the gas it turns off. Any ideas??

ok i used modifrys idea of blinking cel, i recieved 5 short blinks. But i can't find a code for 5 short blinks anywhere, any ideas???

 

map whack???

 

ive wacked the map, it clears up for another 5mins then does it again. I changed the map and it was good for another 20mins then it happened again

 

well if it won't excel past 3000 rpm than it is in limp mode which is not good. but honestly with out a code its all a guessing game.

 

Any # of DTC's can cause this. TDC, and CKP codes, and VTEC codes can all give you a low RPM rev limit. You still need the DTC before troubleshooting.

Being that your car is turbocharged what type of piggyback are you using?

 

using a greddy emanage. I recently unplugged the battery to reset the ecu, does the emanage get effected by this??

 

The emanage programming is stable after battery power is removed. The e-manage being wired in effects the troubleshooting as it's intercepting the some of same sensor inputs that can cause your problem.

 

i was thinking maybe that the map clamp wasn't set, but i know it was. I'm going to have to get the code to find out exactly whats wrong.

 

ok used the blinking idea, i see 5 short blinks, any idea of what that is??

 

anyone???
