Default car wont go pass 4000 RPM's

dunno what the [freak] happened, but my car is very slow to accelerate, wont go past 70 mph's, is eating gas, and wont go past 4000 rpm's or it feels like the engines gonna blow.

i just did an oil change, changed the pan gasket, and threw a new o2 sensor in, and im still throwing a check engine light, car used to be auto and i converted the ECU.


anybody got any idea why this is doing that? i tried to check my CEL by using the speaker wire, but my EJ2 doesnt seem to have the plug to plug the wire in, or atleast it might look different cause mines obd1?

anybody got any ideas? i mean, its eating gas crazy.

need some help, i can drive streets, not freeways, well i can but int he slow lane tilli pick up speed.


any help would be appreciated

is it possible i didnt solder my Auto ecu perfectly thus possibly throwing a CEL 19 Automatic transmission lockup control valve and for it to run this slugish and eat up gas? cause in 5th gear im reving at 3-4 k RPM's.

2 *** 2 think about it. It might b ur injectors. Cause my sohc civic did da same thing. Change out ur injectors which takes like 15min. Go 2 a junkyard. Its worth a try.

Hopes dis helps.

Wrong head bolts=low compression. Do a compression test to make sure. Check your timing (with a timing light). Also did you reset your ecu after putting on the new O2 sensor?
