SOURCE: car goes in limp mode when seeing boost

Some K&N air filters are an "oil-soaked" filter and it is that oil that can cause the problem you are having. If you want to be sure, remove the filter, clear the code(s) then drive the car. If the code(s) do not return, install a non-oil-soaked filter.

"Limp Mode" is determined by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). It could be going into limp mode as a result of a transmission malfunction or it may be going into limp mode as the result of an engine control problem. The only way to find out is to scan your onboard computer system and retrieve any engine or transmission fault codes and diagnose and repair accordingly.

Please note that engine control problems can CAUSE transmission control problems. If there are any engine control faults, these MUST be diagnosed and repaired FIRST.

That happened to my '95 OLDS Aurora... Turned out to be 1&2 gear shift solenoid had "popped" out. He replaced new solenoids and a factory patch kit and ****** shifts like brand new. Hope that helps you cause that was less than 10% the cost of a new/rebuilt transmission!

ESP/BAS light is on and also a red lighting bolt symbol on a 2005 Chrysler 300?
Hi,
There may be an intermittent vacuum leak.

Inspect the intake manifold, power brake booster, and PCV system for any vacuum leaks.
Inspect the throttle-plate. If the throttle blade is bent or will not close, see if it will straighten using long-nosed pliers, otherwise the throttle body may need to be replaced.
Inspect the MAP Sensor and Throttle Body for damaged seals & gaskets.
Inspect the engine for any mechanical conditions that can cause improper engine vacuum, such as leaking/damaged seals & gaskets, coolant/water ingress.
Make sure there are no loose or missing bolts or blanking plates or cut or damaged hoses in and around the air/fuel intake system, which could cause the sensor to be triggered.
best of luck

Stiff brake pedal
sounds like there is a vacuum leak, a vacuum leak will cause your engine to run lean, that may cause your idle speed to increase, , check the vacuum line that goes from the rear of the engine to the power brake booster, it may be the brake booster as well, ether of these will cause hard braking, hope this helps.

Are there vacuum hose on the brakes hydraulic system?
NO. the vacuum is used to make the brake pedal easy to push, power brakes. the pedal would be hard without vacuum, that is why the pedal gets hard with the key off and engine not running. the problem you are having is more of a hydraulic problem.
Have the brakes checked asap. the brake system may have a leak causing the pedal to go low. check the fluid level and if it is low or empty then there is a problem, could be a rotted brake line leaking or a wheel cylinder leaking.

Hi i have an audi a6 1.9tdi with the awx engine in it it keeps going into limp mode there is no air leaks ive read the codes and it say says turbo over boost? new egr, you can see the actuvator arm move...
In your case the turbocharger is responsible for engine losing power.
The car goes in "limp home" mode!!!
After scan the EDC-15P engine control unit with a VAG or KTS -BOSCH diagnosis tool you will find this: Fault code: P1557-Turbo Boost pressure control exceeded
1. Engine stopped and ignition switch off. Check all pneumatic connections and hoses between turbocharger actuator = pressure unit for boost-pressure control, boost-pressure control solenoid valve, vacuum reservoir, EGR control solenoid valve, intake-manifold flap solenoid valve, EGR valve with throttle - part of intake manifold. Also the vacuum connection between tandem pump and brake booster. If you find something wrong replace parts. If not go to step 2.
2. Extract the hose of the turbocharger actuator = pressure unit for boost-pressure control part of turbocharger. Instead of the original hose you must place another 1 meter long hose with the same inside diameter, and then you check to inspire yourself the air from the other one extremity of this hose. The mechanical connecting rod of the turbocharger actuator must have a smooth and whole motion. If you can do that with your mouth, then you must replace the boost-pressure control solenoid valve. If you can not reach this with your mouth, then you go to step 3.
3. This is the most difficult work. The problem is that the soot particles deposits inside the turbocharger plugging the variable nozzle geometry mechanism = adjustable vanes of the turbine. If the turbocharger actuator is not able to adjust the turbine vanes the charge air pressure increase too much and ECU (engine control unit) go in "limp mode" = engine protection software. As a result the "limp home" mode engine still running until you turn the engine off (ignition switch off) and back on when the "limp mode" is deactivated, but the fault still remain in ECU memory!
4. You must be able to extract the turbo from the engine and then to disassemble the turbocharger, clean inside adjustable vanes mechanism and refit all.

Idel goes up wen pumping brake padel.
You have a vacuum leak in the brake booster. Whenever you push it in, a vacuum leak is introduced. Causing the engine to idle higher. Changing the brake booster will cure the problem.

2002 suzuki grand vitara brake warning goes on and off
Do you have a brake fluid accumulator(ABS)? If yes, the pistons/pulsing assembly are worn, and may need to be replaced.

If not, you may have a vacuum leak in the power booster (located on the firewall). Check all hose and clamps for a tight fit/cracks,etc. Vacuum leaks cause intermittent brake failure lights.

You may want to park the vehicle on a clean surface, pump the brakes a few times, and check for brake fluid leaks. If there is a leaking wheel cylinder (back brakes) , caliper (front brakes), or brake line, you will be able to see it.

Leaks cause pressure loss, and, thus, the brake warning light will illuminate.
