tt

 

my car went into the limp home mode when the omp went bad and the check engine light came on . I can not remember the defect code garfinkle put a used one in and reset the codes .all good now

 

thanks did it do any other goofe stuff when it was bad.like buck and serge and oil pres up to like 120 and that type of stuff.thanks foy the help.

 

When the ECU senses a bad OMP it will go into a LIMP HOME MODE that limits RPM to abt 4,000 and Opens the waste gate & CRV to prevent BOOST from the turbos.
As FD Seeker found out an OMP failyre can FRY a chip in the ECU - so be carefull and mage sure the replament used OMP is ok before installing it - there is a testing routine in the FSM

 

thanks for the help.

 

Yes, I am the poster boy for the strange phenomenon you are referring to. Indeed my MOP went bad and took my ECU with it. I'm told this is not really common, but it DID happen to me.

My original post about the problem

Note that the post starts by referring to the limp mode my car was put in... As you continue to read I find out why it's limping.
