I turned on my bird today and the low engine power light was on.. and my car was trippen out it sounded like it was choking and it was putting really bad. I turned it off and on a few times and it kept doing it, then I revved it to 3,000rpms for like 5 seconds, turned it off and on again and it was normal again.

Anyone know what this means and what is causing this?

 

ttt

 

I dont have the answer but that is pretty fu(ked up! Never heard of that happening before. I didnt even know are cars had such a light. I must be a dumb a$$

 

Thats not a light on the LS1. Must be only on the 6s.

 

yeah it's a 6.. i never knew about the light either.. i think only a few cylinders were working or something.. what the hell is goin on.. im in need for a tune up i think.. maybe it's lacking some fluid? it has plenty of oil

 

correct it was only on the newer v6 models, no v8 cars have it. The light comes on when your engine senses some sort of problems, is what i gathered from the manual im reading. It says it will limit acceleration speed and needs to be taken to the dealer for repair. Im sure you can try to figure it out yourself but if it is still under warrenty i would just let them scan it and find the code.

 

I also read in ther service manual, if the car is low on gas it will go into the low power mode.

 

Post this in V6 tech and you'll probably get more help.

 

nah the v6 forums have very few intelligent people..

 

It still doesn't belong here. It's not an LS1 question.

 

Is it suppost to be an LS1 in a V-6 board???

 

no help for you....

 

Actually I know what the problem is, but I am so stupid I forgot.

Now I remember its a light, that comes on, and then the power of the car is severely reduced.

.Jsut hope the dealer uses mobil 1 when he bends you over, might help the pain a little bit more. I hear its a good lubricant, but wait I am an idiot, I don't know anything.
