I think I saw you this weekend. Black car, driving around Neptune on Saturday?

If I had some extra cash lying around, I'd be interested, but I gotta get my tranny fixed.

Sounds like limp mode to me. You only got codes for TCS?

Did you hook up a fuel pressure gauge to check what kind of fuel pressure you've got? 202 fuel level sensors go bad all the time. You could be out of gas an not know it.
