[pdxmotorhead]

When the air boot cracked on my car you had to take it off the car to find it the normal spray method did not do it.

OK, I narrowed it down to a bad MAF.

According to Bently manual, a bad MAF will make your DME to go into "Limp" mode. My ignition, fuel delivery, emission, all are normal. So I am buying a used maf to see if it cures the problem.

Stay tuned.

I just replaced the MAF I bought from Marvin.

The car is still in Limp mode. no luck...

I will take to the shop and let them figure out what's wrong

I tested the ignition coil with the a voltimeter and found out the the resistence was between 10-14 miliohms. According to Bentley, it should be 4-8 mili-ohms. I also found hair-line cracks on my coil so I am replacing the ignition coil and the plug wires to see if they will get me out of this limp-mode.

Yeah, that sounds like a good plan. Let us know what happens.

My mystery has been solved!

I finally towed my car to a shop and after going over all the possible causes and came up fine.

The problem, as it turn out, was constipation. My catalytic converter was plugged up!!! Thus restricting exhaust from going out...

I heard that DEC can no longer sell a 50 state legal cat, so I guess I need to buy the OEM cat now.
