car is in "limp mode"
Car recently went into "limp mode" and won't pass 2k rpms
My cel isn't on
It wus on before and got the code which was the tps and iat sensor
Fixed the iat sensor but the tps one never came back on
I've got the tps sensor just haven't changed it
Cus knowing honda
Yu fix one problem and another comes up
Car is a 92 integra with a b20v
Also I have a chipped p28 ecu with the launch control set at 2k rpms
(Don't ask me why, guy who I bought the chip from didn't put 4k)
What I'm guessing is that either the chip for the ecu went bad or something
Or
My tps finally gave out
Reminder my cel is NOT on
Any input would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

Re: car is in "limp mode"
Btw I've shifted down from 4th to 2nd at about 30mph to see if I can pass 2k rpms
But after the 2k rpms I step on the gas and it doesn't do nothing till it drops below

Re: car is in "limp mode"
This is why you never buy peoples halfazz projects, they throw it together, get stuck and sell.
Seems like something else is wrong, but the CEL isn't glowing. Check for more codes, also check for a code after it bogs at 2k. Best bet would be get another unchipped ECU.

Re: car is in "limp mode"
Thanks for all the input guys
I already jumped the plug for the cel but nothing pops up
My friend had an obd0 ecu that was chipped also and I switched the chips but this time it wudnt pass 4krpms so that didn't work
I had another friend with the same setup
Except his p28 was chipped for a gsr
It ran and everything except the cel would stay on
I jumped it to get the code but the light just stays on
(I've got the code before so I wusnt doing it wrong)
After all that switching ecus and everything
I put mine back and its back to normal
Which is weird..
I'm assuming its gonna come back its just a matter of time before the ecu detects it again
A clogged cat....sounds reasonable because my car sounds really different
So imma see if I can get my pipping changed
Anyone in socal no anyone who chips ecus?
Thanks
