I have an EG hatch with an OBD1 H23A bluetop in it. The car wasn't running right a couple weeks ago because the Speed Sensor fell out so I got it put back in there and it was running great for a few hours. While I was driving the car just kinda died. Now I can't rev past 2k rpms in neutral or while im in gear. Whenever it goes past 2k rpms it dies until I put it in neutral and tap the gas. The check engine light doesn't come on but when I try and read for the code the light stays on. Anyone had this problem or have an idea of what could be wrong? :thinking:

Its datalogged...take it to scotty and he will tell you exactly whats up.

Sucks to hear my baby is down. If the ECU is bad, then that stuff just happens....Find a new p28...have scotty socket it, and slap the chip in it.

Did you try the extra chip that was in the car when i sold it to you??...it was just a regular basemap...see if that makes a difference

sounds like the ecu is in safe mode. I had that happen on my old chipped p28 ecu. You may have a bad chip in the ecu or maybe even a bad ecu all together. See if you can find another ecu to try and see if it clears things up.
