So I was driving my car the other day, accelerating onto the highway walking the RPMS up, and all of a sudden my car is starving. It begins to flutter, Battery light comes on, Key light comes on, and I can't do much more than coast to a safe spot off the highway. Its as if my car was starving to breath. I pulled over, turned ff the car and checked to see if my Hood support stick hit my battery terminal and shoprted the system. I inspected all my connections, nothing was out of place and started the car up again. This time, the battery light went off, The Check engine light came on, I had no Power to the Tachometer, no power to the Engine Temp gauge and my car was idling in limp mode. I couldn't rev it past 3,000 rpms. I know this because I heard the bearing spin and makes a slight noise when it hits 3,000 RPM.
I was stumped. I drove the car home in side streets in limp mode, moving slower than a turtle.
I called up my buddy with a scan tool and We scanned the car and its said "NO LINK".
This was funny. So I decided to take the Car to Auto zone, I drove there in limp mode, slowly. While driving on the highway I shut off the car, turned it off, back on, popped the clutch in gear and started the car, Intermittently the car would be ok, check enigine light will flash for a sec, the car would bog, then go back to normal, do this about 5-6 times and then finally stay in limp mode. During this time the Tach and Engine temp are working fine.
I also performed a Instrument Cluster check and all my gauges swept across indicating a perfect cluster.
SO when I got to AutoZone we scanned this again and the code reader said "Check connections"
Thinking it was a computer issue I replaced the PCM, THE Multiplex Control Unit, even the Ignition control switch, and nothing has fixed it.
I am completely lost on where to diagnose this problem next. Where do I go from here?
