Hi guysbeing the idiot i am and with a boost controller...i turned it up and let it rip...

now the darn car doesn't rev above 2500 RPM in gear and stalls after i rev it

sounds like a vaccum leak somewhere but i couldn't find anycheck for codes and it came out fine with 55

Does the CA have a limp mode that i'm unaware of? And how would I get out of it if it does?

The CA does have a limp mode, I bounced off it myself a few weeks ago. It should correct itself after a few minutes, if not you blew a hose off or did some damage.

don't feel bad, I towed an RX7 back to the shop just to see the intercooler piping blown off. wasn't my car, I asked that foo if he checked for a blown pipe too. Dufus, $38.00 lesson. He was also the one that said there were no Turbo FCs in America, okidoki Jimmy rotorhead.

Just remember that if there weren't stupid people, we wouldn't look NEARLY as smart!
