Re: can somebody teach me how to read the codes on the ecu (juanchoenuncrx)
You have to count the number of blinks on the ECU. Located on the passenger side firewall/floor. Pull the carpet back, and you will see a big gold braket with a hole in the middle. Turn your key to the on position, and read the blink.
One long blink and a long pause will mean a code 1. One somewhat long blink and 2 blinks after, followed by a long pause will mean code 12. If you are throwing more than one code, they will be repeated, seperated by the long pause. Once the ecu runs through all the codes it's throwing, it will start over. Hope this helps. If you need any more help, just let me know, and I can make a video of what it looks like.

it's in limp mode it feels major error(s) a sensor usually and causes this, thus preventing more damage to the engine.

oh ok so what you are saying is that it doesnt go more than 3000 rpm to prevent something from happening to the engine so it might be a bad sensor right is that limp mode?????

yes it goes in limp mode so you can still drive it to get it home or to a shop
mine went in limp mode and it turned out to be a bad ecu
so just check your codes and in the faq's you can fine the ecu codes section

theres the ecu code link
it came in very handy when i was fixing my car
maybe it will help for you

Do the obvious...swap out your ecu with a KNOWN good one and see how it runs on your car. If it runs good with no problems, then you have a bad ecu...
