Re: my car has ED

Coming home from Canmore the other night, my new Jetta experienced a similar problem. If I rev it past 3000 rpm, the engine light goes on and after that I can't go above 2500 in any gear? Is this what you are referring too when you say "limp"?

hmm well when i had limp, i could rev up to red line no problem, but again i have more fuel going in then most. but in general, limp significantly cuts the turbo and fuel. it basically goes to a default mode it operates on because it thinks the map is broken. with it you get the check engine light too, yes. if you cant go past 2500 in 1st or 2nd then you have a bigger problem.

Re: my car has ED

I think this is what's happening to my 2004 Jetta TDI? I was driving back from Canmore on Sunday getting to Scott Hill. I was going to pass a truck and rev'd up to around 3000 when my engine light turned on. After that I couldn't go above 2500 rpm in any gear? Is that what you guys mean by "LIMP". I got up in the morning and the engine light was cleared but it happened again on Deerfoot?
