My car has had small stuff messin up lately im guessin since the person that had it b4 me really didnt give a shit about the car they didnt replace small stuff like sensors but my friend checked the code that being thrown and he said one code was tps and the other iacv which wont let me car rev over 2500 rpm is there anyway i can fix the iacv

yea buy a new one. the IACV wont keep you from revving over 2500 rpm though... it will make you idle really high. The TPS is probably the problem with it not revving high, since the ecu probably is getting a signal that says the throttle is closed when it is actually open, and it limits the fuel injectors.
btw, wtf is that ghetto rigged intake? you probably lost hp on that one. definitely did not smoothe the air flow any.

i am having similar problems i was reading a whole bunch of stuff last night about it and i would try pulling the iac and cleaning it with some MAF cleaner. ist about 6 bucks at any auto store jus my:2cents:

Probably the FITV on the bottom of the throttle body.

Probably the FITV on the bottom of the throttle body.That won't make it top out at 2,500, just be a high and/or fluctuating idle...sounds like the ECU is in "limp/safemode" for some reason.

7 is TPS and 14 is IAC. Did you reset your ecu to see if will come off or if it will come back on? CEL I mean...

seeing how youve got a LS in an EF and both the TPS and IACV require wiring modifcations id start by checking the wiring.

you have to leave the positive cable unhooked for a while, maybe 5 minutes???

i wasnt being a smart ass, the sensors dont typically go bad and especially not at the same time asshole. so checking the wiring would be a good place to start. but good luck fixing it dickhead. youre obviously pretty smart

just a thought, but try switching the TPS and IACV plugs see if it does anything :2cents:

can't...tps is 3 wire and iacv is 2 wire plugs. good try though.
