SOURCE: restricted performance under load
Some times, it only takes a good cleaning of the Mass Air Flow Meter to get it working again. Also clean out the full air intake and down the throttle body, especially the butterfly flap. There are special cleaners for both the Mass Air Flow Meter, and the Throttle Body. Be sure to use the correct ones as there are special coatings that can be damaged by the wrong cleaners.
SOURCE: check engine light is on,display says restricted performance
Anything can cause the check engine light to go on from a loose gas cap, to a transmission issue. When the onboard computer detects an issue, it will restrict performance so as to not damage the engine any further. An Oil change won't affect this light. The only way to determine the cause of the light is to have the computer scanned with an OBD-II tool (Autozone does this for free) to determine the codes and cause for the light. You can also clear the light with the OBD-II tool, but if the problem is still there, the light will just come back on
SOURCE: cylinder 8 misfire, restricted performance is also coming on
you may have to replace the cowl pack itself that sit on top of the spark plug and sometimes you can get by just changing the boot wish you the best of luck Michigan Man.
