I have had this happen a couple of times during very hard acceleration.

The street I live on is 2 1/2 mi. long and the speed limit is 30. It is a 2 lane blvd. with runners and bikers tooling down in bike lanes. You have to go slow.

When I get to the end and turn on to the main road if there is no one there I like to give it a go. Tonight I went into limp mode. I pulled over to make sure the belt was still on and then restarted the car. The car ran fine after the restart, no problem. Is this a loose belt?

 

Don't know without pulling the code.

My car went into limp mode with belt slip a few months ago. Got the belt replaced as it was worn. Hasn't happened since.

Best thing to do it have the code pulled from the ECU.

 

agreed, I just wanted to see if anyone else had exp this and if belt slip would cause limp mode

 

Could be belt slip. I know of a Mini that supposedly had it's pulley slipping on the SC shaft. The car limped and then even failed to run.

 

Mine is back to running fine. It goes in the shop on Wed for the new IC and Catch can

 

Well?????????? what was causing it???? Spill the beans.

 

I don't know. I think it was/is when I "goose" it sometimes the belt slips. The 2 1/2 mi drive to the main road probably did not "warm" it up enough. BTW, I have an oit temp gauge and I am very careful not to drive hard before the oil warms up

I stopped the car and restarted and everything was fine. I drove away slowly. Last night I drove the car harder with no problems. I'm thinking the belt may be worn some (19%). R peed is going to check it out Wednsday. I'll post the results
