Of course, as I am getting some longer cranks these days it could also be the dreaded HPFP (or spark plugs? will get them replaced next week), but I hope that's not the case.

Anyway, if it's the flash (and I already got the half-engine light from it one some occasions) then I'm looking forward to the release of GIAC's stage 2+ flash now more than ever.

Happy holidays,

sorry to burst your bubble, but you should fix the problem first by changing out the spark plugs before you think the GIAC 2 flash will fix your problem because that flash is more aggressive than the stage 1...Did you scan the codes thrown when you limped, that would help alot to troubleshoot why you went into limp mode!
