yeah I was just messing with my car and put a obd 2 changeover in my eg 92! yeah and my speedo always jumps all over the place? so I thought it would be that! hmmm funny thing is all my oil is there I check it before I turn it on and all fluids are full!

I took apart my head and tried to figure it out and evertyhing was there! the car pulls hard till 5k! and then nothing why keep reving it! I need to get a oil gauge but I went looking for one at local parts store and they said there were out! (all the rice boys took them all and I reallly need one!) haha jk but I do need one!

well I'll keep ******* with it and I'll let you know what happens!

thanks you guys for putting your 2 cents in!
