stupid failsafe
anyone know why my engine went into failsafe mode after about 5 minutes from leaving my house when i was barely going 25....i dont ever beat on it...change the oil every 3 g's, i have the brenspeed 93 tune, i got it back home then reinstalled the 87 tune thinking that i could have bad gas for the 93 tune....there were no codes thrown....after the reflash it statrted up fine and i drove it today with no problems....anybody ever get a failsafe out of nowhere for no reason

RE: stupid failsafe
not sure why you got the failsafe that time.
there are a whole bunch of sensors working to
keep your engine happy and healthy and maybe
once in awhile, the PCM sees an erroneous
signal and try's to protect your engine.....

RE: stupid failsafe
My car has only stalled while at a stoplight 3 times. No "failsafe" or codes thrown up. It has started right back up everytime. I dont know what the hell it is. No way anyone is gonna know what your situation is either. I run a shop, and can tell you if no light is on, a scan tool wont be able to help. OCCASIONALLY, a code can be pending. But if you have started your car more than a few times after it happend, that pending code may no longer be stored in the ECU. Only way for a shop to verify, and correctly diagnose a problem is that it must be acting up while they have it. Otherwise its just educated guessing.

Never had it happen to me but I would assume if you were running a 93 octane tune and got some really bad gas one of the million sensors might have thrown a code and shut you down.
