Default ugh...threw a CEL this morning....

was driving to work and threw a CEL on the 404....car went into "safe" mode - won't rev past 3K.....hits a "soft" limiter.

finally got to work and parked it. restarted it and it revs to redline, but the CEL is still on.

gonna take it for a boot at lunch and see what happens.....if it can sustain revs while driving, it may have just mis-fired (per joe).

i called jeff/joe and they told me to pull the fuse - but it's pissing outside, so i haven't done it yet.

any other thoughts??

where can i have the hard code pulled (other than a dealer)??

do you think speedstar can pull the code?

jeff/joe need the code to better diagnose what happened....

joe thought it may have been the blower belt, but it still works (i can hear it spooling)

this is why i hate cars....

Before someone says Gas Cap.

Most crappy tires will pull a code for free, you can check them out at lunch I'm sure.

Pull the fuse and just forget about it if the CEL doesnt come back on.

The car is crap now. You should sell it to me. I'll give you 33k cash today!

Whats a code puller? I thought you just count the number of flashes by the CEL?
