Re: Reduced engine power

Thanks for the reply. No it is not chipped. It is all stock except a better flowing exhaust from the down pipe back.

I finally took it to the dealer, I just did not have the time to trouble shoot anymore and needed it fixed. The day before taking it in, it still had not thrown a code. We reset the codes it did have (#3 & #7 glow plugs) and drove it. During that day, the check engine light came back on, I thought it was just eh glow plugs again. Once the dealer had it and hooked up there Tech 2 scanner, it had thrown an APP code. During the diagnostic, it turns out the accelerator pedal and senor was failing. Replaced that, reset the codes and BINGO, power was restored.

I could have fixed it myself had it thrown the code for me, but it did not and I was frustrated with it. Costly, but it is fixed. The dealer did hook me up with a loaner car for a couple days, so that was a plus!
