CEL, Limp mode.
last night i got in my car after work, I noticed a CEL. drove the car to a local gas station. the car wouldn't rev past 3k. Filled up my tank, but after starting up again the CEL was still on by i was able to rev my car freely....
this morning I reset my battery like a dumbass to clear the CEL. the car runs like a champ in fact it has never run better.
so now im just waiting for the CEL to come back on so i can scan it.
but what i wanna know guys is what the heck would cause it to go into limp mode like that? something pretty serious?
thanks

If you really are a "blown" AP1, then maybe a misfire.
I'd check that your spark plugs are tight.
And maybe check your A/F ratios.

to clarify, I was vortech for abour 5k miles over a year ago now.
the only 2 mods i have now are a TP and an intake. but I have had these mods for over a year with no problem.....
sorry guys still waiting for the cell to come back on.
