Limp Mode
So, my 8 has been going into limp mode since my cel has been on for the past month.
I've noticed that the car is burning really rich and the idle is really sputtering until the temp. reaches halfway n then the car cuts off.
Before it cuts off, it gives a little rev, goes back to a normal type idle rythem and then, cuts off.
So, in essence, i've deduced from reading numerous threads here that the MAF could be clogged or some guys mentioned the cat converter.
I'd appreciate if some guys with experience with this problem can point me in the right direction. I'll try to get a proper scan on it soon also.
Cheers.

glad you were able to trouble shoot the problem. did you really have the CEL on for Month?
coils are easy to replace, order them from one of our vendors.
