Morning all fellow enthusiasts ...Was driving in traffic on an unseasonably hot New York day but not caring because it was top down XLR time when I put my foot on the gas and the car started to rumble...Dash board lit up and in the end, the check engine light came on and stayed on...
When put foot on gas went forward slightly..no power ....
Managed to get off the highway and waited for a tow.....Let the car sit then started it up and while the check engine light was still on and did not reset,I attempted to get closer to home.....seemed fine.. ..got about 1/2 mile stopped for a light and the same thing happened,,...,rumble and no power.....Seemed like if I went slow...kept the RPM'S down and did not stop ..went a distance....if at stop ..no power....like the fuel pump was overheating if that is possible...
Towed to dealer...was told at idle have about 60% power but on acceleration drops to 15 % probably a fuel pump issue but have to wait till Monday to check out further as was a late Friday ..
Anyone with similar experience or thoughts about this..Appreciate the imput..J
