Hey everyone,
I've searched the forums and have come up dry so either I'm dumb and don't know the right words to search by (I tried "limp mode" for example) or maybe this hasn't happened to anyone else?
Anyways, my SRT is acting weird when I try to get on it... It doesn't have the power it should when I give it more than basically 50% throttle. So lets say I'm going 30 or 40 and I get on it, it downshifts as it should and the engine starts screaming with higher r's but it doesn't go like it should. It just slowly accelerates (Trust me here, it normally moves like a bat out of hell as we all know!!!).
A bit of history here:
I bought the car on 10/8/18 and right away I was getting on it to test it out on the highway and the car shut off on me while driving. Many of you told me to bring both a crank shaft sensor and a cam shaft sensor with me so I might be stranded (I flew to Florida and drove this car home). Sure as hell it was the crankshaft sensor causing the issue. I diagnosed in on the OBD2 and replaced the sensor in my old employees garage right there in Tampa. The check engine light also came on with this. This is the one I used here:
From there here is my detailed maintenance I've done from my notes:
Crossfire cabin filter 10/20/18
Crossfire power steering fluid 11/15/18
Crossfire water pump 5/6/19
Crossfire driver side valve cover gasket 5/6/19
Okay, fast forward here just over 2 years later and now the car is limping along. I still have the camshalf sensor (This one here:
) Which I have *NOT* replaced yet. Could this be the issue with this car doing this? I might also mention that the check engine light has NOT come on while this has been going on for about 2 months now.
The AC doesn't work correctly which I (we/you all here) have determined that it's the 2nd water pump that ALSO needs to be replaced too but this seems to be un-related to this limp mode that this car is doing now but I haven't done it cuz I have no time lol. It's on the list of things to do next year along with an oil change and new tires.
Thanks everyone for your expertise on my baby!!
