You are probably in limp mode. If you have to drive it I would run some pre mix to be on the safe side.

2-cycle oil mixed in with your gasoline. 8oz / tank should be enough for a failed OMP.

I had the same thing on mine last, & replaced the metering oil pump. If you have to go the same route, try to look for a used one as a new one costs about $1400.00. Good luck

Do a search in the 3rd gen section on premix and MMO. You will find loads of info.

Ok. I dropped my car off at the body shop yesterday. Still having that damn check engine light on.
I didn't get any MMO yet. I found an Autozone nearby that carries it though.
I plan on getting some on Saturday and dropping by the shop to put some MMO in the tank.
The question is: Is my car going to be OK if they need to drive it? They are only gonna need to move it to get it on a lift and then moving it back outside to park.

Is your car in limp mode? I'd be surprised if it isn't. I had a code 27 (or maybe it was 26?). I ended up replacing the metering oil pump. I bought one off of a forum member who went with a Haltech. Yeah, new they are like $1400, and I don't think they can be rebuilt.

Yeah I think it's in limp mode.
I talked to someone I know who has an FD and knows his ****. He said it should be fine to move the car around w/o having premix.
Gonna grab some MMO tomorrow.

I don't think moving the car is a big deal. It's not like your engine bearings are getting starved for oil, just the apex seals. And thats assuming that the pump completely stopped working. It might be working right now, but the position sensor or something is messed up.
