Last week, I was cruising on the highway, probably close to 80 mph. While merging into another lane, right as I was accelerating at pretty high rpm's, some chick from another lane turned into my lane like a foot in front of me. I had to pull some evasive manuevers to avoid a bloody demise for me and my ranger, very scary.
Now to the point:
Within seconds of that near accident, I noticed all my lowend power was gone, I had to punch it to get up to speed. I actually thought my truck was broke for a second! After parking/turning off the truck a few times it got better.
A few days ago I had my battery unplugged while I was installing my amp and sub. After plugging it back in, I noticed my truck had all its power back...i was like "Holy **** thats how she used to be....thats more like it " lol.
So what could cause this strange behavoir in my truck???? Is it possible for a code to get thrown in the ECU that robs the engine of power??
Please any suggestions are helpful...and thanks for reading.
