Fuel Starvation vs Limp Mode

I don't remember if there is a dash light but a DTC should be thrown. Get an OBD/CAN tool and see which code(s) is present while limp mode is active.

I've got one. I'll have to try it to see if it's throwing any sort of code, but not illuminating a light.

Only code I know of that I have is for the O2 sensors due to the HFC's. And hell, that's not even being thrown at the moment.

limp mode is after you have sex.

fuel starve is when you try blast again after sex.

similiar in that you can't perform.

different as in different causes of lack of ability.
