    Car in limp mode, need your help

    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,
    C280Sportster

    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..
