Default Help. Limp mode. Trim tommorow. I will be stuck with minivan.

O yesterday I hit big puddle on road and since then been in limp mode. Air box dry. Battery and grounds good. Fuses good. Not sure what to check next. Gets up two about 2500 rpms and flubs. I can keeping going and gain speed but Leaving for trim tommorow pulling trailer across my pass. Baught some mad electric cleaner going to spray the connectors and disconnect the battery over night. No codes.

Last week I had a no start condition one day. I am thinking of pulling my stereo from best but install out and see what they used as a power sourse. It's been about 4 month since stereo install but some times stereo doesn't shut off or start. Other day had blown power out let fuse. Gremlins man but this one I will hear from the wife"let's just take the van. Then I am screwed".

I have tq app any pids or test to check/rub. ?

I call it limp mode. Not sure if that is actually a technical event or not.

Anyone? I am taking it to the dealership bring it's under warentee. I don't think it was anything to do with my tunner. Cleaned all sensors and no water in cai. My cai is a tepe that uses stock location and fully enclosed airaid. I did hot a big puddle before it happened but intake was dry. Tried leaving battery cables off. Put fresh gas in from good station. Any quick things I could check before dealership. Like to drive it being it's so nice out. Thanks

Have you tried disconnecting the battery for 10-15 min to reset the ECU?
