Help me - something weird is going on!

Yeah I'm definitely not going to clear the code. My service manager said I should be fine up until Monday, and I would rather them do the warranty work on my car anyways. But it would be nice to know if the issue is major/minor though. Will have to see how it does today, I got my fingers crossed.

After getting some advice from the car guys I work with, it might actually be just a dirty fuel issue.

Well that's good to know. Kind of annoying though, how she doesn't fly around as normal.. Starting to think it may be the torque converter or something like that.. Seems to rev, but no force on takeoff...

It's probably not the torque converter. More than likely your ECU is in safe mode due to the CEL/MIL.
