Today i was driving in this small road, about 20mph, and all of a sudden the amber light with RESTRICTED PERFORMANCE came up and i was at the stop sign, the car started shaking on idle and i drove a little ahead and it was gone. I don't know what that would be....

 

You may want to try cleaning the MAF with MAF only cleaner. You can get it at most any auto store.

 

Will do that first thing tomorrow, thanks!

 

Or it could be a failing O2 sensor, an air leak, failing battery, etc.

Check the cheap/easy ones...

 

So .... it went always by itself? or did you restart?

No other warnings -- normally you get the "trac/ ABS".

any codes?


I know people clean MAF sensors .. and they sell the cleaner. But, I had never personally had any positive result cleaning one .. nor has anyone I know .. including my independent who works on everything.

 

It was only a brief minute, then it went away its own, I only have my old stupid
BOOT OPEN message, i had trac not avail and abs not avail in the past but nothing major.
