Limp mode @ 3.5k rpm; no cel

HOOPZ · 04-24-2010, 01:09 AM

i had mine hit limp mode a few months ago when i stalled it. I just hit the start button til it started back up, pulled into the street and it did it. I pulled over down the road and checked everything over for about 5 min and started it back up. Been fine ever since

There are other possible causes of the car going into limp mode. If I were you, I would want to get to the bottom of what caused it. Typically the ECU isn't going to put the car into limp mode because everything is fine.

I would keep a close eye on your oil levels regardless.

So I dropped the car off Monday evening. Got an update that the car should be ready for pick up this coming Monday. I'll post an update then.

Just in the past week or two, I've had 3 friends of mine (who aren't really car people) tell me about their friend or relative that has had the exact same problem with either the G37 or the 370z. Seems this issue is a little more widespread than a lot of people want to believe.
