The 2nd sessions was also good but the last lap I received limpmode. The last two sessions i was doing ok until 50% into the sessions limp mode CEL.
I don't believe I had an overheating issue as my temps were always constant. The error codes I received were the common 30FE and 3100. After much searching I always come to threads that really don't provide why this is happening.
- Some say its waste-gate sticking and apply some hightemp grease.
- Check all vacuum lines make sure there is no leak.
- Test the boost solenoids to make sure they are not going bad.
I have never received these errors on the street, and I have tried replicating them and it's not possible but I know it happens at high RPM mostly going from 3rd to 4th getting up to 120+ on the track.
I have plenty of air going to my oilcooer, just a complete cutout. I have a vented hood, and 7" IC running Wedge map. Unfortunately I did not do any logging that day. Looks as though this is a common issue and I am not the only one to were this happens only at the track and not on the street.
Has anybody else had these issues on the track at all and resolved them? |
I Get 30FF and 30FE codes at the track too. I think it's my wastegates sticking at high temp.
