Last night i was driving my 8 and i noticed that i was giving it gas and it was accelerating so slow in third gear, and my tac wasnt going up....like 10 minutes later my oil light came on, i added oil and its fine now, but that was def weird...anyone know what was happening, besides the fact that my oil was low....:confused:

Maybe the car went into some sort of "limp" mode when it sinced the low oil. Anyone?

i've read on posts that the engine is having flooding problems but i dont know what the effect of that problem so i was concerned that may be happening...i hope that doesnt seem stupid, i just really dont know

Had you just spin out, or over revved, or anything else? How low was low on oil? 1 quart or more?

Do a search on the forum for 'limp mode', you will find all sorts of information on what happened.
