Ok so I was driving down a road yesterday with pretty deep pot holes. Few miles down the road my throttle response went to shit, like stock tune or something. Turbo wouldn't lite like normal. After I got to my buddies house shut the truck off, went to leave and it ran fine again. Anyone have any ideas? Haven't had a chance to look into it yet. Hell I wouldn't know where to start if it stopped doing it.

Limp mode ran threw my head but I thought if it got limped it stayed that way til it was fixed or cleared. Yea it was reduced power. Idk what could've caused it :confused: I have been pretty hard on my truck before and never limped it. Can you even limp an efi live vehicle?

Wish I had the cash to burn right now cause I need a v2 bad!! Ugh :banghead:

Any information on why it did this? Would the bumpy ride cause it? Sorry I'm just trying to understand. I haven't had this happen before, even some pretty hard burn outs at high rpm and egts.

Check the wireharness right at the the alt.There is a bracket there that wears into the harness and starts grounding out.Or you may have had a ground make and break conection for a split second and limp the truck but alowed you to continue on to your stop.Once you restarted it was reset as said.Good luck.
