Hello everyone ...Here is what's going on...Yesterday morning when I left the house going to work...When I got to the first stoplight I stopped and when the light turned green ...there was nothing there Meaning I could give it gas and it wouldn't do anything just idol it would move from the idol rpms..So I idol to a parking lot..stopped put it in park and cut it off....started it back up and everything was back fine...and it didn't do it again til lastnight and it did it again this morning ...But If i manually shift it mean down shift as i slow down it want do it...anyone have a ideal of whats going on with it??..also I don't know if this has anything to do with it..But when I got this car all the side marker bulbs was blowed and when I replaced them the same day this with the tranny happen????

 

Hard to say. Did you check the tranny fluid? Any visible leaks under the car where you park it? These cars are notorious for having a leaking transmission connector. Right side of tranny under the car. It uuually goes into limp mode -- I believe it stays in second gear. However, your situation sounds different. It could be a computer issue as well. Any check engine lights or codes?

 

Valve plate needs to be replaced/serviced. Search for "NAG 1"

When it did this to me, there is a hidden/pending code. A dealership can check-for ~ $75.

Sorry, bud.

 

What Max said.

 

do you have a tune on the ecu? if yes,, that is causing the car to go into limp mode,, it happens most of the time when in a turn and u give it gas. , it is nothing to worry about just get the ecu reflashed by the people you got your tune from,,let them know what it is doing.
by turning off the engine and restart, this resets the ecu.jim

 

Yeah, come to think of it they replaced mine under warranty (luckily)

 

No it hasn't been tuned ...Not unless it was tuned before I got it....

 

Thanks Max.....So by saying Valve Plate is that also the Valve Body??.....I'll get my buddy to see with his PC

 

That's it. I had mine replaced last year. Can be $$$. It's a well-known problem and you find all kinds of stories/info with a Google search.
