Limp mode
Hi guys
NEED HELP
I have an 05 e55
Kleeman headers
All cat-delete
Smaller s/c pulley
3 bar map sensor
Eurocharge tune
Mizzer pump
After doing the headers and pulley I received a check engine light and (what it seems) car went into limp mode. I spoke to eurocharge and they told me to change the map sensor from 2bar to a 3 bar and due a fine tune with them, which I did. Earlier today I was heading to the track with a few friends, one with a new stingray and other with ctsv. Ran one run on the highway from 50mph with the vette and the car went into limp mode again. After driving for a few minutes I received substantial amount of power (but not all) and ran against the cts v, by 4th gear the car lost the power again. What the f is wrong with this car??? Why won't the car keep its power. Came to the track let it sit for 20 min and the car ran through 3rd gear like a camp and then lost its power again.
Like I said up top need help
Thanks guys

There are many things that can cause limp mode. First step is to get the car hooked up to STAR and see what is causing the issue. These cars throw a code when a trunk light bulb is out. Normal OBDII scanners may reveal a generic code but STAR will tell you exactly what is going on.
