Error Beep - "Limp Mode"
My car is currently running in limp mode. I'll go through everything that I have done to itiiiiiii and maybe you guys can tell me why my computer thinks something is wrong...
1) Replaced the tempeture sender with a mechanical one for my new guages
2) Pulled my stock gauge cluster to prepare for my new gauges
3) Put an open element airfilter on. (Plugged vacume line, reconnected sensor)
Thats what I've done although I noticed that I had my gauge pod out and it didnt seem to effect anything. Then once I pulled the temp sender it started.
NOTE: I did start the car w/o the old sender plugged into the comp. I then went back in connected it and ziptied it up.
HELP!
