In reply to Crystal Miller. Check the ignition coils. Also, consider doing a compression test to see if you have low compression.

In reply to Nai. I think it's unlikely. Why do you ask?

I have a 2001 Acura Integra ls auto.. It will not rev over 5000 rpm and it would stall usually at low rpms it would crank over but not start, I’m guessing my son was hitting over 5000rpms it feels like the engine is restricted. Also I keep hearing the words limp mode, which is a safety system so the car doesn’t have any further damage to it. After a few it would start up and run like crap. When its cold it starts first time every time. its also intermittent. I was driving it today to the gas station keeping it below 5000 Rpms and I had no issues. I replaced all the usual service parts a few more. Plugs, wires, cap and rotor, fuel filter and pump, main relay. I got a CEL for the cat so I replaced the cat and both o2 sensors, but it still will not rev passed 5000rpm. any ideas? I’ve also replaced the map sensor and cleaned the throttle body. All codes are clear when checking including the one for the cat now.

In reply to Brad Rohelier Sr. I would hook up a scan tool and look at some live data if you can. Check fuel trims to see if it's running rich or lean. It might be a good idea to check the timing, too.

In reply to Lexuswhyme. Can you be more precise with the error codes? That "bla bla bla" sounds like useful information in the right hands, which could help you resolve the issue more quickly.
