...limp mode?

**ryannorthcott** · 10-06-2008 07:43 PM

so i'm pretty sure my car jsut went into limp mode today. i.e. check engine light and traction control light came on, could not accelerate, car slowed down etc. my question is what could have caused this? could it be the BOV i just installed, or perhaps my new NGK BKR6E plugs?

the best idea would be to get you CEL checked out that will answer you question as to why. My guess would be a vac/boost leak due or even the 'bov' itself causing an issue.

limp mode usually wont put a cel on the dash, in my experience anyways..but the code will tell you whats up

prolly the bov. unless your running high boost, a bov will not work well with our cars. if you dont plan on super modding, you might want to invest in a Forge Splt-R, atleast wit this you can go from full DV,full BOV, or both with different settings for minimun boost to high boost apps.
