You should not attempt to drive fast in limp mode. It's called limp mode for a reason.

Don't want to be late for the base. I am sure there would be hell to pay. Hopefully someone here can give you an idea.

Get your car SERVICED!

Erasing Codes does NOT fix it. The underlying Problem will just come back. Erasing a code is not some magic fix all. You could do more Harm than good just erasing codes without Fixing the actual problem.

If the fuel rail pressure is low, wouldn't that be a fuel pump failure, or clogged filter (sock in tank)? I can't think of anything else that would cause that. Guess it could be a sensor failure. Anyone??????????

Fuel pump, get thee to a mechanic.

Since you have an SS, it might be the high-pressure fuel pump.

with high probability: the fuel pump - clogged or broken.
is also likely: the fuel injectors - clogged.
unlikely, but it sometimes happens, one of the fuel injectors - the loss of electrical power.

All three cases are in need of professional action. You can not make repairs "on the knee."
Do not think about the loss of time. Professional will solve the problem for 2 - 6 hours. You risk a much greater losses if your HHR die on an empty road.
