Service Engine light

leon389 · 08-30-2011, 11:34 AM

About three days ago I stepped on the gas hard from a stop and got a yellow service engine light and it was shaking with power loss. I turned it off and on and it has been fine since. I took off the procede to take it in to the dealership thinking that it could be the hpfp. But the car has been running fine I've driven it hard and with no problems. Should I still bring it to the dealership or ignore it and install my procede back to see if it happens again?

You should have read the codes before you pulled the Procede out. The you would know why you went into limp mode. I would recommend putting the Procede back in, and wait for it to happen again. When/if it does, read the codes and see what they are. Its its a fuel pump related code, then clear the codes, remove the Procede, and try and make it happen again without the Procede in. When/if that occurs, then you can take to the dealership for repairs.

Use the Procede to read the error codes. Let us know what codes you are getting.

Shaking is generally the HPFP or a misfire. Pray for the first.

If it isn't fuel pump related, try changing spark plugs

The car is CPO. Those problems should cover it right?

The fuel pump is covered CPO or not. Misfire, could by something simple or hard. Since it has not happened again, more then likely just a fluke. I get them every once and awhile.

Isnt the pump covered up to 120k miles now, regardless of other warranties?
