Hey i just got an n/a FC project car and it has been sat for two years until i bought it. I just started i up today and it runs fine other than puking out a **** load of smoke until it warmed up! Only issue motor wise so far is that when i try to rev it up it hits 4grand and then cuts out back to idle. When i say it cuts out it doesnt actually shut off it just stops and the rpms drop until i take my foot off the gas and re apply it.
Any ideas what it could be? TPS buggered?
And as an FYI it wont n/a for long! Just need to get it running and have it as a secondary run around car until i build up a bt!
Thanks in advance!

umm. kinda sounds like it's going into limp mode check to see if the omp if functioning properly. otherwise if it's smoking on start up could be the tps if you have a s5 b/c one of the tps control the oil injection i think this is corroct some one correct me if i'm wrong.

what year is your car?
its an 86 gxl n/a. All it does at the moment is get to around 3800 and then drop right off back to idle. I noticed in the other post you said it could be in limp mode? The other guy at the beginning of the thread mentioned that also. Im not getting an engine light though so i dont know if its throwing any codes at all. Going to check the warning lights and make sure they're all working first!
Im assuming limp mode would be a safe mode for the car? What causes this usually?
Thanks in advance
