CEL, No power, rough idle

[tubebrner]

Has anyone else had a problem like this? Yesterday my MS3 was running fine and I parked it for about a half hour while running some errands, got back in my car and started it and quickly found that I had no power. Check engine light was flashing, idle was very rough, and I had almost no throttle response. Also when I let off the throttle I was getting a cloud of black smoke from the exhaust. I had it towed to the dealer but I guess they won't be able to look at it today. Has anyone else had a similar problem? My only mod is MS CAI.

Do you think that problem would cause the car to be undrivable like mine is?

Also if that is the case I'm pretty pissed becuase as soon as that TSB came out I told the dealer that my car hesitates sometimes when cold and falls into the affected Vin# range for reflash and fuel pump replacement, and they told me they would have to duplicate the problem before they could take any action.

Your dealer should be feeling really stupid right about now.

Some of these dealerships are dumb as s***!
My dealer re-flashed mine no questions ask because my car was within the vin# range. Ever since it's been running like a charm
