do you mind if I jump on your band wagon? I am throwing a code 2, the idle is fine but when throttling up it kinda skips, hesitates, and in the high RPM's- forget it! Any ideas? just had the bitch tuned, new timing belt, new cap, need to get a new rotor....
thanks!

code #2 - problem with secondary O2 sensor. Sounds like your car is running in 'limp' or 'safe' mode.

Try resetting the ecu and if the code comes back, you might need to replace your secondary O2 sensor.

btw, here's a link to all the CEL codes:

A surefire way to check if it's running in safe mode is a loss of power and it'll run full rich all the time, because it is running off of the minimal sensor inputs, just tach input and throttle position...
