No your mods are fine (as long as installed properly)

The engine can go into limp mode for allot of different reasons I'll have to take a look at the shop manual to see if anything stands out to me.

You don't need a tune

Please post your results. Knowing what conditions can trigger limp mode could be very valuable when troubleshooting.

I will be making a trip to the dealership to see what is going on. I will keep you all updated. I would hate for people to experience this.

ok, i had this exact same issue way back when. Actually, i had two separate occaisons:

- 1. Limp mode with all the lights on dash and a CEL (happened several times over course of few days)
- 2. Loss of power, wouldn't rev past 1500-2000rpm, turn car off and back on and it was fine.

My fixes were:

1. Replaced throttle body. (basically where the TPS is located)
2. Turn off the P006A code in the ecu from occurring. Even though you don't get a CEL, this code may still be occuring and causing limp mode.
