There isn't any knock sensor in that harness, is there? Just the Y5's and Y8's had knock sensors AFAIK.

CEL codes?

Check codes
Check your base timing (should be 16-17 degrees btdc)
Check spark plugs

yah its in limp mode. what ecu you are you using? if it is something that you had chipped then that could be your problem, improper chip install.
