Stopped at a red light, and while idling for 20 ~ 30 seconds the check engine light came on. The light changes, the go pedal is to the floor, and we're crawling for about a block and a half. Then the check engine light go's off and power is restored . . . until we get to the next light. Because there was a stored code, "low fuel pressure during start up," we replaced fuel filters. No change. The next day we are SB 5 going to LA and came upon an upside down SUV. Traffic stopped and MH went into limp mode. A minute later after passing the accident and the go pedal is to the floor, count to 30, the check engine light went off, and we didn't have another problem all the way to LA and back home. Weeks later we went to Tahoe without incident, but on the return trip we were stopped at the traffic light on hwy 88 in Jackson and the check engine light came on. Limped across the intersection and another half a block when it recovered and was fine again. Any ideas out there?
