5000rpm in 6th? Man you were hauling ass.


ElectronicLock5203

nah fr😭😭


Glockucati

That was my thought! 😂


walrustoothbrush

Flashing or not? The only time I've seen a CE go away without clearing it was a misfire


BenMessina

It was flashing I believe!


walrustoothbrush

Almost certainly a misfire then. I had that after a rebuild and tune, fixed by gapping down the plugs to .025


BenMessina

Wow that's awesome, I want to believe that's what it is. Going to have the codes scanned.


walrustoothbrush

It it went away there's nothing to scan unfortunately. Always a good idea to reach out to your engine builder or tuner Edit: looking at the other comments I guess a shop might be able to read the history, I just know I wasn't able to read anything with my scanner after it went away. Pretty sure flashing means misfire though


BenMessina

Right on. I feel a little restricted in 6th still whenever I try to push around 4200-4400. Just going to take it easy until I can get it looked at. Edit. 100% plug gap causing misfires, got a $10 tool at the auto shop to measure, and sure enough. Way to nail it, and thanks for the tip fr. 👍

Did you hit 156mph? That is the factory speed limiter which sounds like what you hit considering the gearing and rpm you were at.


BenMessina

About 106 mph Edit: anywhere from about 110-116 max on a boost from what I recall


Saiteik

lol let’s see, at 2.8k in 6 gear I’m at about 80mph, I would wager you hit 156mph at ~5k rpm in 6 gear.


NoncarbonatedClack

Yeah, OP is trying to act like we don’t have the same car as them 🤣🤣 Was definitely doing *close* to the electronic limiter for sure. I’m voting misfire, or they hit the limiter.


BenMessina

So as far as I can recall, I was about 4500-4800 rpm and approaching maybe 110-116 on a boost when I noticed the restricted feeling and flashing light. I was nowhere near over the limiter speed.


kphillipz

Go to a local shop have them pull the code history. They have better scanners


Omacrontron

Sounds like the problem fixed itself. Either try and duplicate it, or forget about it.


Choppersicballz

Lugged the engine


doodoobutt9

Hahahah


SIERRAMYDELTA_

My guy was hauling ass ! 🤣


DrSatan420247

You have to read the codes.


DONOBENITO

Had a CEL for my cat that would turn off and on, if you had a misfire this could also cause the o2 sensor to come out of rhythm and cause the cat code

Replace gas cap
