So I stopped to pick up the GF and my car started idling at 2000rpm and my CEL went on....so I shut the car off, and started it back up and now its idling noormal now but wont rev past 3000prm and sounds like its hitting the limiter....in order for the tach to even move the peddle needs to be half way down....I thought it might have been cruise related so I pulled the fuse and still nothing...im lost on this one guys...

thanks in advance....any help would be great

 

what's the code?

 

get the code

 

wow, that was pretty much a double post....I think I got it the first time there Rallidew....and yeah my buddy is on his way with his scanner, just thought if others have had the same issue it would be an easy answer....

 

Considering there are dozens of situations that can throw a car into limp mode, it's pointless to speculate.

 

Fair enough....I will see what the code is soon...thanks for the quick replies guys

 

well no point in saying i have a code and dont give us the code but not trying to force it in ur face but you got my point. but im not trying to be an A$$

also i feel that if you come to us with a problem you should also include was it hot cold rainy had you been driving long/ faster then norm/ was it acting funny exe but like i said im not trying to be mean and my bad on the dubble post.

 

Well I understood half that anyway....I never said I had a code...but i know its the TPS now, so the stock airbox is back in and im heading to the dealership tomorrow...limp mode FTL!

If you needed more info than my original post and could have figured it out, then you my friend are AMAZING!...I did fart right before it happened so it could have been the humidity change, but a smoking hot chick walked infront of my car with a bag of Ice...so the combination of the two could have done some serious damage for sure! that **** starts tornado's

thanks to the people who acctually contributed...wait a minute....no one did....ahh well...thanks anyway...

 

you got off easy n00b

 

Did I?...n00b here maybe...

 

It sounds like an identical problem I had. When we were wiring in my piggyback, the MAF sensor wire was not connected properly and it threw the car in limp mode. It could be other things, but maf is definitely on top of the list.

 

Like I said, it was the TPS....tons of things can throw a car into limp mode...

new TPS will be here earlier in the week, so limp mode for a few more days....right now it seems to be fine, just idling too high

 

lol now you bash me when i clearly stated that my intention was for the sole purpose of helping you and you pulled out the tears on that last post crying about me ( us on the forums that try to help) askin for more info for your own good but wtfe have fun with that.
