Edit....this was in response to Moose .I forgot to enclose his quote here..


Ok.........I have this to add to my B & G stage II PCM flash in my 2006 SRT-8 . I am having intermitent limp mode problems . Here is the deal..... I did both the PCM and TCM flashes with HHP back in october of 06 . I hit limp mode 4 frustrating times . #1.... Leaving HHP ...getting on 95 ...got pulled over for speeding(64 in a 55.....Don't think the NY plates helped me much there!!) ...anyway...after my ''chat'' w/ the super trooper...I put it in drive and started to pull away from the shoulder.....stick was in D ...but the P on the cluster was still boxed as if it was in drive and ...no power !! Back over to the shoulder for me . Damn thing wouldn't start for at least three minutes . Cop pulled up again(couldn't really tell him my high performance chip was malfunctioning !! LOL!!!). Called Josh/HHP . He was great .....put me in touch w/ a tech ....asked me what happened....how it happened..told me he did the work for Josh.....great service here....but before we could go any further....it re-started.......so even though I don't think I did....we assumed I was in 1rst when I pulled away from the cop and hit limp mode and the limiter (in hindsight I pulled away so gentile because he was behind me watching my every move...it couldn't have been the limiter thing). Car ran great the rest of the way home....a real friggin beast (On top of the two flashes ..HHP put on P&P heads and intake). #2 was at the track !!! At the line after my little burn . Light wen't green..same thing . The P was still boxed on the cluster...no go !!! Took another three minutes to re-start . This sucked bad . HHP was there to witness this . Again..we assumed I hit the limiter on my burn in first.....although I never use auto-stick at the track for this fear...so I thought MAYBE..I inadvertantly had it in first .Car ran good the rest of the day 12.7 at 109 w/traction issues . # 3 (here's the kicker)...I was reversing out of a parking spot ...in a parking lot.put it in drive...no go..limp again .Three minutes....good to go !! # 4....last weekend at a meet...leaving a picture shoot...from a parking spot . Now I am convinced.....I was not in first either of the first two times and did not hit the limiter . I have nobody to blame but my self ...because I don't know what is doing it...haven't swapped my stock PCM back in (will do this weekend)...and loved the way the car runs so much..figured this occasional problem may be a trade-off .I called no one , as of yet . I will try Josh/HHP now that this is becoming a real pain in the ass...and see if maybe it needs to simply needs to be re-flashed .It was an early model ? I will keep you all updated...so my mistakes are not yours .The reason this sat for so long is a busy work schedule and constant family obligations...keep me from enjoying this car..all to often .Don't think I put on 2,000 miles since my October work and have just under 5k after 14 months in total . Damn thing sits in my garage plugged into a wall....but it helps get through my work day...knowing it's there . Take care and this thing works awsome(B&G Flash)....I just have to figure out my problem , Mike .
