Fuel System Malfunction

550iGuy · 06-04-2012, 08:39 PM

I searched the forum and did not find this specific issue...message is Fuel System Malfunction- Maximum Engine Output not available. Drive moderately. I took it in to the dealership where they replaced the fuel pump and on the drive home the message reappeared.

Car does not seem sluggish but clearly something is not right. Has anyone had this message or any ideas on the root cause? Taking it back into dealer tomorrow to look at it but thought I would check in with the experts on this forum before my visit.

Thanks for any help you can send my way.

The message is generic and can be caused by a large number of problems.
The dealers system will tell them what triggered the message
