Just to be boring and get back on track for a moment, remember the temp sensor for the ECU is a different one from the dash sensor and if it is goosed it can trick the ECU into believing the car is colder than it is so restricting the revs as well as overfuelling the engine.

A new one over here is around a tenner (dont know what that is in dollars) so you can just replace it or theres a test you can do to check its resistance as it warms up but I dont have access to any manuals at the mo so someone who coes might hopefully look it up and tell you.renzkuken1 wrote:How can i fix this? lolStorm wrote:Just to be boring and get back on track for a moment, remember the temp sensor for the ECU is a different one from the dash sensor and if it is goosed it can trick the ECU into believing the car is colder than it is so restricting the revs as well as overfuelling the engine.
