Chargepipe back on BUT.......................

BKBMW335I · 10-30-2016, 12:51 PM

When I step on the accelerator hard the car will go into Limp Mode immediately and the Half power engine light comes on.

I'm not sure if I should change the plugs or could it be coils (a coil) or what??

Please help me define this so I can fix it before it becomes something more costly.

I appreciate those who will not be critical and suggest simple stuff like "just take it to a mechanic" or whatever other derogatory/insulting things.

I come to you guys because you are the subject matter experts.

Thanks in advance.

I know you wouldn't post without checking the codes, so what are they?
# miles on car? # miles on plugs?

Read the code with your Cobb. Playing a guessing game otherwise.

Without codes, I'd guess you've got a boost leak somewhere.

Sounds like maybe the o'ring or clamps on the charge pipe are not seated or clamped properly.

Yep the O ring blew off along with the clamp, so I just bought and installed an ER CP and called it a day.................everything is lovely now.

Just need to change plugs along with oil and filter and do my MHD flash once I get my cables these week.

Glad you got it fixed. Also, if you intend to keep the car, a way to pull codes is pretty much essential.
