my car sputtered and died yesterday but after i put oil in it the car ran fine... today car sputtered and died and now wont start everytime only every once in a while... when the car does start now it will not cross over 3000 rpm its is like the rev limiter is now set at 3000.....anyone have this problem b4?

 

i did once when i chipped my ECU with a crappy 20 dollar Chip on ebay i hooked the jumper up wrong and it wouldnt rev past 3000 rpm but thats probably not the case in your situation is your check engine light coming on?

 

no check engine light

 

check your timing and check your firing order with the spark plug wires from the dizzy if your firing order is off that could be the problem

 

have you recently messed with the dizzy, spark plugs or spark plug wires

 

you might need a new TPS

 

the tps was unhooked for since the swap that was a few years ago and it has ran fine since then

to the others i havnt messed with the dizzy or the plugs or anything and this is the first mechanical problem ive ever had and ive had the car for over a year

 

bump... i put an ebay "chiped" ecu that i had bought a while ago in and the car would rev over 3k but after about 10 min of idleing it died.... im think a bad sensor

There's your problem. Ebay chips suck.

 

yeah the Ebay chip is most likely your problem see if u cant take it off mine just fell off since i suck at soldering lol but make sure u take off the jumpers and things that come with the chip

My problem was the jumper was soldered to the wrong hole, i fixed it and it ran fine ever since

 

i just put in on for a second to see what it would do... im running a stock ecu... go read my post again

 

so you took the chip out? did u take the jumpers out too mine came with like 2 or 3 little ones besides the chip itself
