First CEL!

woo

the old lady and i were driving to get some food last and got out on the highway, as soon as i hit the on-ramp i got on it a little...got up to about where the second cam takes over and boom! instant limp mode! i dont remember if we were laughing or cursing, but we knew it would happen sooner or later, pulled over turned off the ignition waited about 5 minutes started her up and drove on home, laughing

i have yet to take it to get the code read, but i'm guessing it's either the O2 sensor or TPS, since these problems seem to come up alot on this forum with the Greddy kits installed

Meh, no biggie. Everyone does the limp mode boogie at least once with F/I. Check the code, change your plugs, and figure out the problemo. The 8th is here to help if it is something more serious.

I'm in!

Code was P2138 - P2138 Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) Sensor 1/2 (Throttle Position Sensor D/E)

Hmm, could it be that I had that bitch planted to the floor with my foot?
