Starting from a stoplight I was distracted by the cop staring at my lack of front plate and attempted to start off while still in fifth.  From there I of course stalled, quickly restarted the car and tried pulling off in first only to get this limp mode, tried pulling off on a side street and restarting it letting the car sit for approx a minute but made no change. From there I thought it might be fuel related as I only had 30 miles till empty so I got gas, backing into the slot for the pump. After that the car was fine and has driven fine ever since.
Cliffs:
Attempted to start in 5th and stalled, happened directly after restarting
Couldnt rev past 2500 RPM or give more than approx 25% throttle without it hitting a weird rev limiter
Just shutting down the car made no change
After reversing, getting gas and letting the car sit for a few mins all was back to normal. |
Yup, that sounds very familiar to mine. I was in 2nd gear but thought I was in 1st. I was at s the supermarket. This guy waves at me to go and I punch it in 2nd. Of course I bog down and hear a thud. After that this happened. I wonder if this is a some kind of protection mode that kicks in.
However, I haven't been able to replicate this issue ever again.
