you have scanner?
#Please help regarding with the car engine light issue, gas pedal sudden stop loss power
regal trout
and btw explain futher on no power on gas
a long theory could be that a sensor is getting tripped and stopping the engine from doing certain things, when your car starts up it may be normal until it encounters a problem to which it will send a error code to the ECU
do you notice any noises when this happens or does this problem occur in special conditions?

There no noises or anything
This what happened today.
from the stoplight, when i press gas pedal. Its having hard time to accelerate but i press gas pedal not forcefully but normal accelerating from stop.
Then while its having hard time to accelerate the check engine lights goes on. Then gas pedal stop working for about 10-15sec i think.
Then after passing that sec going 25-30seconds gas pedla works but slow acceleration but its driving
.
Then it works again like normal driving.
But check the engine is still on.

add on to this question, it was a orange check light?

another thing i found while researching this car was "Limp mode" in modern/smart cars is a safety feature which can restrict pedal power to engine
it is best to get OBD scanner to find fault codes because it could mainly be ECU to sensors like mass flow or accelerator pedal position sensor

Yeah i guess. So.
Hopefully nothing serious. But is it still safe to drive just to get into garage?
pure wyvern

Orange check engine. Lights on
regal trout
if you dont have obd scanner, you can drive to a auto mechanic shop and ask them to scan it for problems
orange light means that it can still be driven, it may just have a reduced engine performance but make sure you don't run the engine on long periods
since you still dont know what it is
pure wyvern
Yeah. Cuz while driving straight going home. There are time that sudden power loss. Like literally when you press gas pedal. Nothing happen
Then after fee sec 30-40sec. It works again
regal trout
so it is a reoccurring issue?
pure wyvern
so it is a reoccurring issue?
Happen once. Then the driving goes fine. But its like loss power.
Feels like your driving a bit on the hill
regal trout
doesnt get up to the desired rpm?
pure wyvern
Rpm goes max upto 3. Then going down 2 driving normally.

Then when its below 2. It drives normal
The driving experience is like this
When you're at full stop.
Then the stoplight goes green.
When you press the gas pedal.
It feels like you're driving slightly on the hill a little. Rpm on that goes max upto 3 so i step my foot out of the gas pedal so it will have air some time to flow. Then i press gas pedal again. To drive normally.
Feels like its having hard time the engine to breathe.
Also i change my air filter like 5months ago. Haven't check since then
Maintenance change oil is 10k km. But when i reah 8-9. I change oil. Sparkplug changed same time air filter.
5months ago.

Seeing how this can be called recent repair and you said how this started at a redlight and at green it started have problems taking off and struggling to breathe, a check you can do when you get the chance is getting if the air filter assembly intake is not properly tighten because the mass flow sensor can know between air that has been through the air filter and air that entered the intake system without going through the air filter
and can sometimes shut off the engine if there is too much dirty air
(i would also take this moment to say i am not a qualified diagnostician, however i do nearly have a cert II in automotive technology)
but if this isnt the issue, take it to a auto mechanic workshop because i said a very general wide of what it could be but still could not be correct
pure wyvern
Thankyou so much. I feel like there might be problem with the airflow or something since its having hard time to breathe.
And hard time to take off.
Ill update on sunday when get checked 🙁
