have a 2008 SE5 bought new in 5/09, now has 9200 miles.
no troubles until Sunday of last week. On freeway 70mph, 90 degrees, 3 bars hot engine gauge. Check DPS flashes on, check Tranny chk engine light at 2 o'clock on tach. 10 min later, VSS flashes/limp home and VSS icon at 8 o'clock on speedo burns on, followed by involuntary de-accel.
pulled over, turned key on off x 3 to reset computer (?) read that on this site. All back to normal except check dps still on with engine lite. Drove @ 60 mph for another 1/2 hour and the above repeats itself. Stopped for chow and let engine rest for an hour. Restarts all normal.
Drive another hour at 70 mph and the above happens again. Stop for gas, engine off 10 minutes, restarts all normal.
rest of Sunday thru Thursday driving mixure of highway, city stop/go and back country road driving...no issues at all
4 days later (Thursday) on freeway, 70mph and the above DPS-Vss flashing, de-accel dance. got going with 3 key on/offs. Stopped 1/2 hour later for gas with engine off 10 min...all back to normal. Friday driving, all normal.
Any idea what's happening?:gaah:
