Looks like another blown 55 motor

Was getting on ramp and started to accelerate up too 75
the ESP malfunction came on and I pull over
car was bogging down and coughing
I turned it off let it sit and then I started it again and the same thing of a hard miss
the dash say ESP malfunction and a solid CEL

That's not limp mode
A hard misfire is not a good sign

all you gotta do is turn the car off let it sit few seconds and restart it, that should be enough for it to be rest back to normal assuming that is the issue.

If you can, find a way to pull the codes. That will give you a better idea of what is going on. If, if it is a blown motor, take a deep breath and remember it is just an engine and it can be replaced, as many of us here have. I wish you luck that it is something simple.

Not a good sign. Can you read the codes with an obd2 reader or star?

You experienced a misfire, which is one of the most common occurrences on any car. It could be MANY things - from a bad coil pack, vacuum leak, or a blown motor - and anything in between. No need to panic right off the bat. Get the codes read and go from there. I think you guys in the US have AutoZone that will give you readouts of the faults stored in your car for free.

I have SDS so I'll get the codes
just unusual that while I was getting on highway rear end get wobble the. ESP malfunction and loss of power and no transmission then misfire and then CEL
I'm sure it's either minor or major not good
I don't think it's a vacuum leak to hard of a mis
I think chawkins had something like this happen at the track and was an easy fix but I'm sure im
not that lucky
My fingers are crossed though

Cool. Best of luck in fixing her up. Hopefully it's just some pesky electrical mishap instead of a major breakdown.

Yes I'm starting to think that
but I will wait to assume anything. I'm really praying and hoping it's not blown but an ESP issue

Yeah maybe we're overreacting and hope it's nothing major but you know your car better than anyone and it's doing too many weird things at the same time and sadly that's the first thing that goes through anybody's mind that owns a 55k unfortunately.

I'm praying for you bud. The hiccup situation (lean condition) plus the acceleration recipe for disaster. Tuners please unite to help fix this for guys going through this
