Could be HPFP, injectors, how far is work? I'd see if you can grab a loaner, dealers are open Saturdays

Weird, but the code has been thrown, but you'd obviously clear it in the process of removing your mods. Drive carefully I guess

just drove it around the block, set my JB3 to map 0, drove the car pretty slow not getting above 3500 rpm, and nothing came up, this is so weird!
has anyone ever heard of this, ive read so many threads about HPFP its ridiculous, but ive never read one like this. |

To clarify your initial post, you were having loss of power but where not showing half engine light/limp mode?

ok, sorry if the first post wasnt very clear, i was in a rush to get it on here so heres exactly what happend.
I turned on my car, backed out the driveway and started driving at about 20mph, the Half Engine Light came on, and it said Engine malfunction loss of power! I dont know if there was really any loss of power because i only drove about 200 yards home and didnt accelerate. Then about 10 minutes ago, i drove it around the block and nothing came on, this is just really weird. |

Limp mode clears on turning off the car and turning it on again. Whether it comes on again is another story.
