Anyone have a 100% for sure answer as to whether or not any emissions related CELS will throw the computer into Limp Mode. I've heard so many different answers as to what CELS cause limp mode and what don't. I'm getting CEL 67, and as long as it's not going into limp mode, I won't worry about the darn light being on.

Thanks in advance guys!

 

NO limp mode... observed my me when I recieved the #67 CEL.

-who was a bit faster than #01-0160 when a test pipe was installed on #01-0154.

 

So what actually is the Limp Mode ? How is it gonna affect the car ??

Thanks

 

Whos: No VTEC. The Rich/Lean code can cause LIMP mode from a too tight valve adjustment. That's the only code I have personal experience with that caused my honduh to go into limp mode..

 

The MAP Sensor code(don't know the #) always used to put my Civics into limp mode, Secondary O2 code never put them into limp mode. BTW, they we're turbocharged with test pipes.(and yes, I plan on using cats from now on

Damn MAP sensor put my ITR into limp mode so many times that I burned out my cat.

 

VSS (code 17 i think) will throw you into limp mode and it sucks.

 

17 VSS vehicle speed sensor....if ecu does not see speed then there is not VTEC

 

not only no VTEC but severe bogging while driving due to a short in the VSS

 

When in limp mode, i observed that the ecu dumps huge amounts of fuel and the idle is fast idle. As mentioned already you will be bogging a whole bunch
