You're going to need to give more information than that. There's tons upon tons of reasons for a car to go into limp mode. Start with finding out what code is being thrown.

Did you installed a cai or sri? Did you removed for any reason the airflowmeter sensor?

is your airflow sensor backwards...

Is there something blocking your intake pipe? Honestly that amount of information you're giving us is lacking.

let me put it to you this way, I don't know anything about cutting trees down so I wouldn't call someone and ask them how to cut down a tree and then go try it.

you need a mechanic, not some free advice. If we give you some things to look at, would you know what the hell we are talking about? If not, you shouldn't be poking around in the canopies anyway

Hey DangerousDan, maybe it's his Ripp Mods mass airflow sensor or his Ripp Mods crank angle sensor that messed up the car? Or maybe your analysis concludes that his Ripp Mods gonkulator has fried?

no, I don't think it's the gonkulator. If anything it's the individuo detrás de la rueda.
