Engine dies under full throttle
Hey new here. I've looked all over and have found bits and pieces of what I think is my problem but I figured I'll ask to see if i can get a more specific answer.
I just bought a 2008 v6 premium convertible. The car runs and drives great except if I stomp on the throttle from a full stop. I can get to full throttle if its already moving without this issue. What I've done: I turned off the overdrive Turned off traction control. Floor it result: engine failure. The check engine light and anti theft lights flash. If i dont let off the throttle the engine will go into limp mode. I've seen reports of possible MAF sensor or fuel pump as being the cause for this. Needless to say its a brown out that i can't stomp the pedal. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated Thanks |
You need to pull the code(s) from the ECU, but a blinking CEL is Misfire. When is the last
time the plugs were changed? Coil pack? The blinking PATS light, there should be a pattern. Record the slow flashes, and fast flashes. PATS may just need reset, you need to manually lock the driver door with the key the next time you exit the vehicle. Not a for sure thing... |
thanks for the advice 08'MustangDude,
Maintenance records dont list plugs being changed ever. I'll pull the plugs and clean the throttle body out as well. Replace the cheap stuff first i guess ;) I was thinking my fuel pump was crapping out. |
Also the lights all stop flashing if I let of the throttle before limp mode gets activated.

There have been issues with this, and most of them were MAF issues, wiring short, or
bad MAF. MAF has the integrated IAT as well... Still need to have someone read the codes stored... |
Agreed, without the codes all anyone can do is make a SWAG attempt to help you (Scientific Wild A$$ed Guess)
= |
I'll get the codes checked today
Thanks guys. |
Only code reported is P0607 which i got from replacing the battery I guess.
|
P0607 is the standard OBD-II trouble code for an issue with the engine control module (ECM). The code suggests that the ECM is experiencing problems, such as power failure or memory loss, and thus may not be able to do its job properly. |
Should be more codes than that with the blinking CEL...
