It only seems to happen when the car's under a heavy load, and I can't remember if having the transmission in Sport or Economy makes a difference (I'll have to pay attention next time). Here's a picture of this warning light that comes on when it goes into LIMP or safe mode. I have no idea what it means. The symptoms along with the light will go away after the car is shut off for a moment, and turned back on.  Edit: The car doesn't seem to be spiking at all anymore. I had found a small air leak in the new hose I ran from the turbo to the wastegate. I haven't seen it spike since fixing that leak. Also, the light I'm referring to above is the one with a gear and exclamation mark. |
That is the automatic transmission shift electronics malfunction indicator lamp.
It means there is a malfunction in the shifting electronics or in the transmission.
Can you read the transmission codes?
Did you get an indy shop to do a pre-purchase inspection?
