I just finished my dx intake swap to mpfi and when I give it gas the car will go to 3 grand then surge it will not go passed 3200 like it's at its rev limit what is causing this can anyone help

p.s. I have been told that its my distributor but don't get why it's doing it only when I get to 3 grand it runs fine under 3 grand then acts like its at its rev limit

 

It sounds like your car is in "Safe mode", Are you getting are codes?

 

yeah its your ecu in safe mode, tell us what codes your getting. probably like a crank angle sensor thing

 

something is wrong with your crank angle sensor, did you switch the 2 wires on the distributor?

 

I just went and checked it i'm getting codes 4 and 9 and yes I did switch all the wires and checked them severel times now

 

yup code 4 and 9 are your crank angle sensor. check your wires again more carefully

 

the crank angle sensor wires go to the dizzy right if so I have checked them

 

Well instead of checking them how bout you change them around,

the crank angle sensor is inside your distributor, its either not wired properly or the distributor is trash

 

the middle 2 wires should be a white next to an orange and there should be a 3rd white wire

then on the bottom with the 3rd piece ont he right side there should be a white/blue and a orange/blue. both colors there be right up and down from each other

it should look like this witht eh wires in the connector

b/y b/g
wht ong white
w/b o/b

 

when i was still obd-0 i had to switch the b/y b/g wires around. That should fix code 4. Also check the link how to fix codes

Search is your friend!!!!

 

hey, my car did that for awhile, and i figured out what it is, go down to your ecu, and make sure that b10 and b12 pins arnt lose. that was my prob.
