Hi dee21,

The car is now in 'limp home' mode and should be one of the major engine management system sensors malfunctioning.

Get a scan done to find out what the check engine light is warning you about.

Hi dee21,

No, most probably nothing is worng with the engine, just that some sensors are not working so the engine is not performing as it should be.

The engine is runnig fine but can you rev it up?
