Have you contacted your local dealer? No expert here I am afraid, but you might also try disconnecting the battery for a minute and see if that resets the PCM. Hopefully somebody else can chime in...

It could be as simple as a fuse......or as complicated as a cam-sensor or PCM issue as some early-early 08s had. Mileage? Where are you? (blank profile)

I suspect you DO have a check-engine light? If so, do NOT discon the battery as it will erase the all-important CEL code.

You have 1-800-warrantee tow service, in your owners manual, get it flat-bedded by an expert to the nearest capable dealer

Sounds like your car is in limp home mode for some reason. Jon B is right, you should have you dealer come out and take a look or come and get it. It's hard to guess what might be wrong without more information, it's probably something simple so don't get too worried just yet. Let us know what you find out.

I hope I never have to use my dealer! I bought my car from one of the best, Mike at Ringgold, 350 miles away from the house. I wouldn't let my local dealer change out my floor mats. :mad:

The closest Viper tech is 150 miles away :( :( If anything is needed, looks like I wil be doing it myself and asking a buttload of question here. Thanks being here guys :2tu:

This happened to me in my 08' entering the expressway. I pulled over and turned off the ignition for a moment and then restarted the Viper. It has been running gret since then.

Have you had the reflash done to your car? Earlier models needed this done to them.
