It seems like when you drive a manually shift car. And start out in third instead of first. Slow to get up to speed. I already replaced the #2 cam sensor. That didn't work. Unless the car needs to be manually somehow put out of slump mode? Lastly, I do have an exhaust leak somewhere I wouldn't think that would slump the car until a certain speed.

Hi,

You are correct about the exhaust leak. It won't cause it to go into limp mode. In this case, what you need to do is have the can-bus scanned for diagnostic trouble codes.

CAN stands for controller area network. Basically, all the computers/modules are tied together via a few wires. This type of scan will retrieve diagnostic trouble codes regardless of the module storing them.

Here is a link that explains how it's done:

By chance, have you had this done? You indicated two cam sensors being replaced. Did you have codes that indicated a problem with the sensors?

Let me know.

Take care,

Joe
