Default My car is in limp mode

Ok so like a week ago i hit a huge pot hole and my car started running funny it reved up to 3000 rpms and stayed there for a few minutes but had no power then dropped down to 1000 rpms and wouldn't rev over 3000rpms changed everything think that i thought it could be cuz it sounded like a misfire then check the wiring harness and found a crank sensor would that cause my car to go into limp mode it has an f20b in and i thought that the f20s don't have a crank sensor and if it is the crannk sensor out of what motor do i get it from

Did you really need to make another thread for this? I already tried to point you in the right direction once.

Check all your connections and there is no corrosion, broken/shorted wires, loose pins.
Being an F20B swap you will need to look over all the changes done to the car and wire harness. The closer to factory it is, the more reliable it will be.
