Default p28 limp mode no cel

Alright lets start off with my car, I got a 99 civic sedan and swapped in an lsv. Im using a si distributor ,neptuned p28 ecu tuned. ive been using the same wire harness since I did the swap (2 years).

So now to my problem. Drove my car the night before perfectly fine, next morning car starts up fine idles fine no check engine light. On the way to the gas station noticed my car wouldn't pass 3000 rpm car would just bog. I have tried searching and have never found any answers to this considering I don't have a check engine I don't know where to start. I tried unplugging tps sensor(just to see if my cel light comes on and it does). changed my igniter that's about it.

Any ideas what it could be?

I would check the spark plugs and/or spark plug wires. If it's not that, it has something to do with the ignition (distributor, rotor button, ignitor, etc.).

Replace the fuel filter, and do a full ignition system tune up while you're at it.

is there any testing procedures before replacing unnecessary components? plugs are 200 miles old and wires are about 1000 miles old
