CEL = Car is choking like hell
So scary, when the CEL is on, will the ECU *cripple* the RPM/Power of the car?
cuz right now my car chokes like *crazy*, and its *very* lack of power, probably 1/4 of what its capable of.
3900~4500 = starting to choke
Above 4500 = Choke like riding a horse, refuse to go anything higher than 5500 RPM.
Free Revving is fine(MEaning Netural, and Rev it up to 8000 RPM w/o much problem)
The power now is so weak that sometimes Im afraid it might just stall and roll back when going uphill !
Hmm ......
Full story is here

Anybody has any ideas whats going on? because seriously I "DONT THINK" its my intake/RB duct causing the problem. OR should I wait for the Hymeee software to come, read the actual CEL code, and post it back here see what happens ?

Seriously, I've been to my Dealer already.
They're cool about the Intake and stuff I have, they pull the code and they said theres a leak somewhere, but wont tell me what is it, because thats their policy. (They will only tell me if I put the stuff back to stock)
and, while I was there I perform the recall, and yes Im on R Flash now.
The only Mod I have to my car is the New K&N intake and RB Air Duct, theres no way these 2 things can cause all these problems. What are the common problems for it ?
I dont think a Gas Cap problem can affect the car to the level Im getting now.

nycgps... when you're sCANalyser arrives, go to Tools|Options and configure the DTC file to point to the attached file. This will map the codes to descriptions automatically for you.
Best of luck solving your problem
