I know, this has been discussed to past death...I searched and was reading quite a few threads..

I've gotten engine malfuntion I think 4 times now...about 5K miles on my JB3I think? give or take..

The first three have been common codes (can't remember exactly which ones). I searched after and did see that they didn't mean much (misfire/etc.).

I got another engine malfunction today. I'll hook up the BT when I get home and hopefully it's at least another "Common" code. Every time, it did go into limp mode but once I stopped the car and then re-started it was fine.

Of course I'm always nervous about the damn HPFP/coils/spark plugs/etc....which I'm even more nervous over here (I only have a few months left before I go back to the states). I'm nervous here cause having to deal with a German Dealer can be a real pain.

I have read on most of the threads that it is NOT normal to be getting constant engine malfunctions and to call/E-mail Terry.

I guess my questions are these....

1. IS it common for JB3 2.0 to get this a lot?

2. What is Terry's E-mail/# if that's the answer I'm going to get, lol?

No its not common. You should first remove it and see if its reproducible and than fix the underlying problem (plugs, injectors, etc.).

PM sent.

I got limp mode several times, and the solution was the lagfix setting. At value 70 the car limps no more.
I hope maybe this will help.

What map are you running and what is the octane rating of the gas that you put in?

[luv135i]

What are the codes? Your question is pretty vague...

[Jeff@TopGearSolutions]

Codes are not common, so your car is not up to the task in some fashion perhaps.

-Either your running too much boost for your mods.
- Not enough effective octane
-Weak Fuel Pump
-Need new plugs
-Weak/leaky Injectors
-Or coilpacks

These are all guesses of course until you actually tell us your codes.

Terry's email is right on his site, he doesnt hide it.

I know...I should've come with the codes at least...I didn't bring the car home tonight either....I'll get them up tomorrow...I already joined n54tech and talked to Terry...

I just ordered a cable....didn't even have that yet...I know, idiot....

I'm on map5 running 93 octane....

I'll post the codes tomorrow..(it's bedtime here almost)....thanx for the replies..
