Kill story then CEL :(

Kill story then CEL  :(-20160518_145752_zps68ydsom4.jpg






so... after a good friend's wedding ... I drove the car hard on the way home and managed multiple back to back kills on the freeway..


2010ish stang that looks modded or a cobra ? a GTR and a S55 ... it was pretty fun and impressive....too much fun that I missed my exit lol..




when I was about to exit I got flashing cel then soild cel and car went into limp mode..... I haven't had a chance to plug in and see the codes but im guessing it had multiple misfires .. maybe im gonna need new plugs ...coils ..or o2 sensor ..sigh.... I usually baby this car alot .so I guess she wasn't ready lol......




will report back after star diagnose.

so you had time to post but not time to check codes?


Solid engine light: check your codes when you can.
Flashing engine light: Turn your car off now.

Or so I've been told.

So: What are the codes?

Flashing means misfire. That's why they say shut it off cause most of the time a cycle of the key will clear it up.

Just curious what could have happened that led to the need for a new crankshaft?
