How is your harness throwing you into limp mode?

the codes that im throwing are 4- ckp (in the distributer) and 7- tps..
i have replaced both and im still in limp mode?
its gotta be something in my wiring im assuming its pretty worn out.

Troubleshoot the codes. Not the wiring. Making assumptions will only cost you time and money if you assume incorrectly.

Are you just replacing the TPS or are you calibrating it? In any case you're just guessing about the harness. You will probably buy one and that not fix your issue either. I'll let some confirm that the harness you're asking about will work or not.

Did you bother resetting the ECU after replacing the parts? You have to clear the codes - they aren't going to go away on their own.
