while driving, I went immediatly into Limp Mode, when the Traingle Warning and the EPC came on at the same time. When I pulled to the shoulder, the Check Engine Light came on. Drove it to the dealer - couldnt go over 60 MAX and dropped it off.

I got a Volvo S60 in the mean while. It pretty much sucks ***.

Any ideas what could be wrong? They called me and said they dont have any word on it yet....

I got a code for overboost one time put it in limp mode until I cleared the code. never happened again.

I should have Vagged it. DAMN

TROLL

have you had all your coilpacks replaced yet?

the senator

plus, it didnt jump at all like the descriptions of the other failures

TROLL

i have an '03 like you and didn't get a recall either but had CP failure twice!!

the senator

Did you have the same symptoms? Please advise

alipor

maybe you f-ed up your cat somehow and it is sending it into limp mode.

TROLL

my car was barely driveable. i'd go up to like 20/30mph and it felt bad. since my dealer was too far, i just had my car towed both times.

btw, if it is a CP failure, INSIST they replace all 4 even if you never received a recall. my stupid dealer only replaced the 1 defective the first time.

the senator

plus I had it in the right programs each time....good thought though. I hadn't considered that one yet. But really, I dont think that was the issue.

I though coilpacks made the car jump near violently....
