CEL 7 and 14 are back on... Now the car is back in limp d1ck mode, wont rev past 2500 rpm! What would cause this, because I have driven the car with the TPS unhooked before, and I don't see how the IACV would put it into limp mode? Gah, someone help, I'm about ready to blow this friggin car up! (if you want parts e-mail me)

 

It's most likely due to the TPS sensor. I don't know how you previously drove around with your TPS unhooked, without the car running really crappy. A bad IACV will give you a surging idle, but won't really affect the the engine when it's under a load. Take care of the TPS and your drivability should be restored.

 

I've tried two different TPS sensors, and neither changed the CEL or the limp mode. Is there any way to bypass the limp mode? At this point I really don't care if the motor blows, as long as I can go faster than 40 MPH!!! At least if it blows I cant drive it at all, so I cant get pissed at it.

 

Was your CRX a DX model by chance? If so, did you change the wiring on the TPS sensor plug? Just an idea.

 

Yes it is a DX model, I had a guy do the wiring for me. Now that you mention it I think the TPS light has always been on. What could it be you think?

 

Ok.. I just reset the ECU by pulling the ECU fuse, and the TPS light is gone. Good. The car came out of limp mode, but there is still a problem. When I hold the car at a certain RPM above 1500, it jumps up and down, until I bring it past 4800rpm. But I think the fix is temporary, as the TPS sensor has went off before, did the same thing, then came back on.

 

I think the TPS wiring is still in DX "version". Just need to switch the wires around.
