** HElp my engine does not REV over 3000RPM on IDLE **

My F23A1 does not want to rev over 3000rpm at idle. when I am driving, just forget it, there is no way I can get to 40mph with the car. I cant go over 2500 when driving , over that, it's just not going !.... Everything is OK, got a cel yesterday, but my battery pole just got loose and lost the cel this morning...
IT's 99 engine btw

Thanks

sounds like it's in limp home mode. Are you sure there are no codes?

plugged exhaust... (Converter?)
something stuck to the filter like a plastic bag?

This same thing happened to my buddy. It gave no trouble codes, it turned out the ecu was dead and it was running on that limp home mode. Try switching ecu's with a friend to see if that fixes your problem. Good luck!
