Goes into Limp Mode now and again
Last week after spinning the tires, as i backed off the gas the ESP error popped up then the car went into limp mode. I pull to the side and the idle was hunting.
I switched off the car and on again and everything was back to normal.
anyone knows whats going on?
It happened again with a cold car, spinning the wheels a little then it went into limp mode, turned it off and on and back to normal.
This morning i left it at idle for 5min then started driving and it felt a bit sluggish, semi limp mode (if there is such a mode), again off and on then it was back to normal.
Anyone out there who could shed some light??
I know its not the SC water Pump as that feels very different.

Yeah, you need to get a code reader and pull the stored codes. That will give you the direction you need. Sounds like the throttle body to me too, that or the pedal sensor.
