Q: What is wrong with this thread

A:

 

dont know how to upload videos

 

we accept written descriptions of problems!
ck the top of the main thread list for posting pics and vids info
usually a link to youtube works well, displays automatically

 

See post 1.

Same goes for videos. Upload them to Youtube and copy the link and paste it here.

 

basically when im at 30 miles an hour my rpm bounce and i cant go any faster check engine light vsa light on and if i stop at a light the car keeps shuting off

 

car is in safety/limp mode.

 

are you stuck in first or does the trans shift?

 

yeah i know its n limp mode why though?? what causes that. Yes it will change gears

 

limp to a parts store for free code reading (not in Ca.)
could be bad coil or 100 other things

were you working on the car recently? new plugs?
it usually only goes into this `extra protective mode` it the ecu thinks the engine had an overrev and is protecting itself
(overrev `cant` happen on auto trans TL, but slipping trans clutches can cause that false code)

 

why ask people that cant read the codes when you can drive nto your local Acura/Honda dealer to have it looked at? Simple.

 

i know the codes just all it give was it was in limp mode code. No recent work on it. I pulled the ECU fuse waited 10 mins. but its still not the same lol my cuz G35 pulled me by half a car. could get over 120

 

Does dealer give a free code read? Either way, the dealer isn't 10 minutes away for everyone. Still, my dealer gives me $5 oil changes and free 30 point inspections, so I don't complain.

Ask for a courtesy inspection at your dealer. Maybe a local auto shop may even give a free inspection.

 

a few service managers may like you and do a free code reading

Otherwise if the car enters the building -it has to by law- have a work order

Acura dealer charges average 1.5 hours minimum diagnosis time--and can charge that ~150$ even if they find prob in 10 minutes..It doesnt even include the fix!! just the diagnosis which may or may not be correct--codes are clues~~~

thats why we try for a free code reading and head to acurazine with them where hopefully someone remembers reading a similar thread some time ago....!!

 

wait--it went into limp after some high speed escapades??

a cat overheat will cause your symptoms,,and 100+ fun can give a temp overheat condition
ck that cat!!

 

Five dollar oil changes?

 

You dont know the code then, because there is no limp mode code. What is the actual code number.

 

courtesy inspections are not free in the end-
their goal is to generate business that day for the shop!!
They have bills to pay, people to keep busy...
So your free 15 minutes of their time will uncover the need to do a fluid flush and belts and something else --right away!!
you wouldnt want your spouse to get stuck on the bridge right?!!!

Its ALWAYS Buyer Beware!!

 

that might b that ... time to delete the cat maybe??

 

if thats the problem,, and if you intend to keep up with the high temp fun runs~
