wrong section. Go to tech talk.

I've heard of this before...

IIRC, it has something to do with something causing the ECU to go into "limp mode". I'm sure someone more informed will chime in soon.

was this originally a dual point car ?if it was double check the wiring at the ecu ,i have had them not have a good connection where the pins are changed at the ecu plug during a mpfi swap
