ok heres the deal. i let my car (it a project car) sit for two weeks. wen i went back it barely ran and i had to peddle the gas to make it run. it also wont rev past about 3500 rpms, when it gets that high it feels like a rev limiter.. i fooled with the cam sensor and it ran normal again, my friend pulled the throttle body open and it ran till red line. but only for a few seconds. so i replace the sensor and still have the same proble. any ideas on what to do. PLEASE HELP!

 

Is your car throwing any codes?

Have you checked your map sensor - I had a similiar issue of my neon not idleing and not getting over 3500 RPM

 

sounds almost like the timing....but if it wasnt messed with then that wouldnt be the problem

 

the timing is fine . i have a fiend with the scanner tool that i am getting on saturday. but i bet it is making codes cuz when i reset the computer it worked fine. but only for a sec or two. thanks for input

 

try the on-off-on-off-on key trick. i can check my mr. "H" book for the codes. write back soon.

 

could a large amount of carb cleaner hurt the map senssor cuz i did clean it all out with alot of cleaner after i blocked the egr valve

 

it evaps pretty fast. unless you put power to it very soon after, i wouldn't think so. sounds more like a DAS Q. i'm not that smart. any codes????

 

prolly codes but havent scanned it yet.

 

you have to do this with in 5 sec of putting the key in. turn key to "on"-right before start, "off"-one click back, on, off, on. wait and the light WILL flash. FLASH pause FLASH..FLASH is code 12, batt discon in last 50 starts. 50 is end of codes. it's almost 11pm where i live, get crack'N.

 

i cant do it till tomorow cuz i at work now and dont get off till eleven but i will update u when i do it. im on the east coast so i still got a while till i get off too.
