Ok so if you saw my last thread about my friends car and his problems he basically had idle problems, no vtec, and the car would die many times.

We bought a new ecu and ripped out the old one put in a new on and it starts up fine now, idles smooth as well. However, the engine will not go past 3000 rpms. It bogs down and acts almost like a rev limiter. I'm assuming the engine is basically choking. I think its his ecu and that it needs to be programmed for the engine and this altitude. Am I right?

Video of whats going on is located here:

Limp mode most likely

 

Someone else said that too. What is that? And how do I go about fixing it? Or should I just google this? lol

Ok so after reading those I'm assuming that we have to fix whatever problem is making his CEL go on before it goes off of limp mode?

Cause his CEL is on. I am going to run a diagnostic with my grandfathers computer (He used to own a shop just last year) and see what the CEL is on for. And then try to figure it out from there.

Sounds like tomorrow will be fun. Thanks!
