PROBLEMS — POWER LOSS
Car losing power?
A car that feels sluggish, hesitates or suddenly goes into limp mode is protecting itself from a fault.
Common causes
01
Boost leaks
On turbocharged engines, a split hose or intercooler leak reduces power.
02
Fuel delivery
Pump, filter, pressure or injector problems.
03
Sensors
Airflow, pressure or throttle sensors giving incorrect readings.
04
Misfire or ignition
Weak coils or plugs under load.
Questions owners ask
- What is limp mode?
- A protective mode that limits power when the car detects a serious fault. Get it diagnosed rather than repeatedly restarting.
