Something popped, car shut down doing 85, yikes! Cause?

*note to self, no Accel via cruise

Hopefully its an easy fix for ya

Greg, give it a shot, just make sure you've got space to pull over Crazy feeling to have the beast shutdown going 85

Your egt sensor might be acting up due to an air leak messing with the mixture, lean and hot.

My lambda's, all 4 have been acting up, we think its the air leak causing this.

Not that this is likely the issue..but I've recently discovered that a bad EGT WILL put us in limp mode. I currently have an EGT code and go limp after 2 or 3 CEL's...

How do you know if you are in limp mode?

Or my most embarrassing moment waaaaayyy back when...a Nissan Maxima. F me...I know it must have been all over the internet that he out ran me.

I've been driving with tail between legs all week...I'll be back next! I did a reset of codes, she feels strong under 3k still, does that get you out of limp mode, or do you have to do redneck reset?

Car drives fine with no codes the last 50 miles, but I haven't hit boost either, or just barely. If we don't find any vacuum leaks on Tuesday, I'll give her a go and see if all is fine without using the CC.

Smoke tested everything, not a vacuum or hose leak, small leaking starting on one of my stock IC's finally.

So.....this makes me think it's the brake pedal sensor as Jim mentioned. I'll look into pricing on that fix...

Runs great, just won't be accelerating with cruise anytime soon!
