Signs of HPFP?

Hi guys.

I noticed in the past couple weeks there were maybe 2 or 3 times when the car started, dropped to 400rpm, sputtered, bounced up to 1800rpm and then settled after a bit. I took note, but the car drove fine after.

This afternoon I started the car and I immediately got the 'limp' mode engine icon pop up. I let it sit for a minute and it didn't go away so I shut her down (thinking HPFP) and went in the girlfriends car.

Later this evening I managed to start the car OK and drove it around, but come Monday I plan to take her in.

So is this HPFP for sure? If so, this will be the first one to go. 61k km on the original. It was reprogrammed as per the recall a few months back as well...
