Carl 3 Report post Posted August 3, 2005 (edited) Haha, is it owned by a chick? If so, check the oil isn't OVER FILLED...seen a case where engine just refused to rev, cause, oil was filled right up way passed the max amount Limp mode is when enigne managment detects some problem and goes into a safe mode. Not sure what causes it though, over revving or pinking? Edited August 3, 2005 by ///Carl Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
