Default limp mode.

we got the vtec head swap in my 97 dx... but we have to re wire the idle air control valve so technically its not hooked up an my car is running really slow... im guessing becuase it is in the limp mode it doesnt go much over 65 but if i get that idle air vavle replaced should my car runn better? any help
thanks

Default

car runs best when it has all working sensors.

ok so the bogging down an the missing is most likely from that idle air control sensor?

sounds like your timing is waay off. an unplugged iacv shouldnt cause your car to run like that (ive driven fine w/o one)
