I keep getting CEL!! PLEASE READ

1cleanm6 · 12-29-2008, 03:33 AM

Hey there folks sorry if i posted in wrong forum however i posted it here because i thought you guys know more...

Ok i have this wierd problem with my car. Before i start let me explain that my waste gates are rattling again!!!(second time). Anyways well sometimes i drive aggressive, 1-3 gear runs. When i shift to 3rd a second later or so it CHECK engline light comes on. Its so wierd because it doesnt go into limp mode it just comes on. However my car has been running extrmely slow lately. I member this car was so quick when i just got it. Now it has crazy amount of hesitation always!. Its so annoying ebcause this is my 5th-6th check engine light.

What is going on during 3rd gear that is causing this engine engine light. Yes i know i should take it in and blah blah. However ITS FUCKING ANNOYING AND IM SICK OF IT. I never thought a car like this can give so many stupid check engline and limp mode problems. Sorry im mad.

This car feels nothing like a 335, i feel like its a mix of a 328/335.

Has anyone had a problem like this or can the gods explain whats going on here?

Also car is stock performance wise, no chip, absolutely nothing done.

Get a code reader and post the code thrown. Nothing you posted will help us help you.

If your car is stock... Stop posting here and take your car to the dealer. Thats what their for...

Even if someone here points out your problem you probably wont be able to fix it on your own IE HPFP.

I would take your car in, that's what warranty is for. I had the ses light come on, and now they are replacing my fuel pump. What's up with the fuel pump?! You'd think they would come up with a good one by now!

BlkSapphire · 12-30-2008, 01:18 PM

It is called an OBD-II reader. The expensive one is called the GT1, there are a lot of chinese knockoffs. It plugs in right near where the hood release lever is.
