Limp Mode.....??
just a quicky,,,,for me to do some research....
what does limp mode feel like,,,,driving i mean,,, does the car start fine,,,run fine,,,but wont accelerate,,will it let you boost,,,does it misfire,,,or kangarooo,,,, cheers guys,,,once again, great site this,,,full of info,,,:) |
kangarooo?
:wtf: |
car jumps,,judders=== kangarooo
hahah |
my knock sensor is on the fritz and it goes into limp mode. It doesnt boost as much(7psi). And its much slower
|
limp home mode is low boost about 8 psi even at WOT
|
it will store a code
|
pulling off the hose on the *boost* sensor, will cause you car to stay under 5 psi

Guess it depends on the code, because when my OMP went out my car would bog as soon as I got to 5in/mg. It would basicaly refuse to gointo boost at all.
|
try disconnecting the battery and holding down the brake for 15-20 sec.

the ecu might have sizzed up? bad idel,dies at idel low boost?
|
my ECU is giving the code for faulty oil metering pump sensor,,,,so looks like,,ill have to rip it out and see what i can do with it
|
did you guys know that the word kangaroo originates from Australia? When the pioneers first made contact with the natives there they asked what those animals were jumping around, and the natives said "kangaroo" which means "we dont know" in their language. Interesting right? ROFL

tiger18,
check the wires going to it first, somehow mine just got clipped by the main pulley cutting the red wire. Tape and a connector solved my prob. Swat81, Nah no harm in doing it....and very interesting fact, thanks, but how do Aboriginees say "I don't know"? |
My limp mode experience is that the car "kangaroos" when I push on the accelerator too far. Does it at any RPMs, not limited to 3k and higher, and pretty much forces me to drive slow, which I assume is the intended purpose.
|
it boggs for me when I aceelerate hard so I guess I am in LIMP mode and didn't realize it, I will try resetting the ECU since I haven't done those since some minor mods.
|
yep, limp mode, but how do they say "I don't know"?
hahaha |
