Default Need Help Please Car wont rev past 3k

I recently did a GSR swap to my buddys vx hatch. Everything is plugged up and including o2 sensor but it is still throwing the CEL code for o2 sensor. I think the car might be in limp mode for some reason but im not 100% sure. Do you think it could maybe TPS sensor? Can Someone please help me and how do I get it out of limp mode????

If you reset the ECU, do any CEL codes return?

The codes repeat over and over again. Click the CEL sticky. If you can't figure out how to read the blinking CEL, then post a video.

If the o2 sensor is plugged up the CEL just flashes and it wont throw a code but when the o2 unplugged it throws code 41 which is o2 sensor...

Yes I knw that but its not throwing a code like it should be...Its only flashing constantly no pausing or anything so how would you read a code if it doesnt throw a code like it should?

it might sound dumb or silly. but try switching your MAP and TPS plugs, as in unplug them and switch them. if it does not work make sure that they are making full contact. check your pins and what not on the plugs. LUK if this helps.
