Well, my car is in limp mode with these codes:

p0173

p0715 (Input Turbine - tranny I think)

p0170

one of those is Fuel trim...I've had it go off before and go away (gas cap) ?

I did clear the code,s but the car is still in limp mode ?

What's going on ? I do have the starmark warranty, I hope whatever is busted is covered (like the MAS) ?


I thought my tranny went, but after doing some searches it could be the MAS...or what else (air filter, bad gas, fuel cap) ? What sends an MB into "limp home mode" ?



Thanks,

P0170 Fuel Trim Malfunction (Bank 1) ) check vaccum leaks first or faulty air mass flow sensor

P0173 Fuel Trim Malfunction (Bank 2) )

P0715 Input/Turbine Speed Sensor Circuit Malfunctio


Ok, so could it be the a bad MAS causing all my problems ?

Is that covered by the starmark ?

it could be the MAS, but have the dealer look at it

and yes it should be cover by the warranty..
