Hi everybody,
I have a limp mode problem with my 172. I know it has been covered many times but I can't find anyone who had the same problem.
My car drives fine and limp mode only appears when I give it the beans, I drove it normally for an hour today and when full throttle a few times and after a few pulls it went into limp mode.
Stopped the car, checked the codes and it said P0120. Turned the car off and started it again and it was gone. It has come on 3 times now and only when I am at full throttle between 3 and 4 k rpm. Never when I drive in the city not going full throttle and above 3k rpm.
Any ideas? I thought the wiring but wiring would be intermittent and not every time I accelerate hatd wouldn't it? And if it was the spark plugs it wouldn't be P0120 right?
I should mention I had a bit of a problem, not going into details but got a few bent valves, got them replaced by a guy in my area who knows the F4R very well, could he have done something wrong in particular while in the process of fitting new exhaust valves?
Cheers.
