i was drivin today and wasnt oayin attention cuz my music was to loud and i redlined second gear then went to put it in third and my car shut off and it said engine disabled engine power reduced i thinks the ecu shut off the engine and it wont turn on now its at the dealer anyone have this problem before????

 

i don't know why it won't start... but it should have just gone intom reduced engine power mode (limp mode) it should have stayed on, and it should have just had limited power. So i don't know what you did.

What does the car do when you turn the key?

 

Yes unhook that batery that should erase it!

 

it doesnt do anything i wont start it cranked a couple times i tried but wouldnt turn over it said engine disabled to so i think the ecu disabled the engine or somethin and needs reset by the dealer

 

disconnect both battery cables and touch them together...reconnect cables to battery and fire it up

 

thats some funny **** right there... i never heard that.

 

well i dont have the car i had to get it towed to the dealer ship so i dont got it now but did u have that same problem before and that worked????

 

how? it resets everything

 

I had it happen several times when I had a sensor unplugged it freaked out and went into power reduction mode. I unhooked the battery and reconnected and it worked fine again after.

 

o i just disconnected the power for a couple minutes and that didnt work i didnt kno u could touch them together but idk its at the dealer now so thy are gonna call me tomorrow and hopefully it wont cost anything for them to fix it but u really think that would work like legit?

 

It still doesnt take care of what ever set off that error though. Usually its something so bad that the ECM gave up!

Like I said I had a critical sensor unhooked so it freaked.

 

i don't see how touching the battery cables together does anything, but whatever. if your car is under warrenty the dealer should fix it for you and be done with

 

Touching the cables together drains the capacitors in the computers holding power for the memory.

Once drained everything is reset!

 

ya but wont they know that i caused it and then it wont be covered right ?

 

It depends on what it did to cause the error!

The engine has a fuel shut off to prevent over revving.

I have personally missed a redline shift from 3-4 and went 3-2 and ran it up over 7500RPM and it survived!

 

well thats good i just hope nothing major is wrong with it i only had the car a month i havent even made the first payment on it yet lol. but did u turbo ur ss?

 

thats what his sig says

 

You should be fine if you are still under waranty!

Yes I put a turbo on it!
Pretty quick to I must say!

 

ya i wanna kno wat kind of turbo he got and how much it cost him to do that

 

It was not cheap, in the end I have over $6k into the kit and all the supporting mods.
Overall I am very happy with how it turned out!
It runs very well!

 

wat kind of turbo u got and how much did it cost for everything

wow thats alot yo u kno of anything else i could do to my car wit out turboing it or super charging it ???

 

you could get the used supercharger and parts from an SS/SC they will bolt on then get a custom tune. That would be about half the cost for everything that you will need.

 

ya idk ill see if i got the money my friend got an 07 s2k with some mods and its pretty fast and im just tryin to keep up wit him haha

 

The turbo will give you a fair amount more over the supercharger, but either way will get you a lot closer!

 

ya if ur pushing 264 at the wheels ull prob beat him my other friend got A SRT 4 stage 2 its pretty sick but the kid wit the s2k his bro got a 06 wrx and he is pushin 395 at the wheels and like 470 tq at the wheels that car is insane
