so i did a mini me swap and rushed the end of it by not getting my head resurfaced and used a cheap HG and reused headstuds being an idiot and i got that running and blew the rad by the time i got home. ran so good tho haha. cracked the block. bought a complete z6. low miles from an auto. swapped that in and starts right up but goes into limp mode. wont rev past 3200 but no CEL. iv been trying to figure it out for 3 months now. im about to give up and buy something else but i just lost my L for 3 months so i figure id still try to fix this. so pissed at it

 

check your wiring, check your distributor, both main causes for this problem, especially after converting to obd1

 

ive had this problem a few times most of the time it was because the two white wires on the dizzy plug were backwards. if you messed with the dizzy at all that might be the problem.

alright thanks. il go try that in a min.

 

just tried switching the two white wires. turned over but didnt start.

 

not 100% sure but dont the tps wires have to be swapped around?? or is that only with a dohc swap or sumthin. someone help with this. if so then maybe you didnt do that????

 

yeah someone mentioned that on another forum. they said he had to switch the two wires on the TPS and it fixed it. i already tried that as well. still no luck
