Ok so this tracker is a week new to me (it's been good so far and no signs of doping at all) 180k on it and the engine and trans and has been taken care of somewhat from the look of things.
I think I am in limp mode because this thing has NO POWER, it's hard to accelerate unless I am almost pedal to the metal which I try not to do, no odd noises though I think there is a misfire.
I am going to give it a tune up around 9:45 tomorrow before work to see if there is any noticeable difference and to try and get a computer reset.
So far all I can diagnose is a tune up needed, dimmer switch to turn my dash board lights back on(ordered and on it's way), and 3 gaskets replaced because they're giving a SUPER slow leak (trans filter, rear main, and oil pan gasket).
Other than that the thing is sound but gets crappy acceleration and crappy mpg.
Overall what causes limp mode and or crap acceleration besides the spark plugs, distributor and plug wires? And how do I get out of Limp mode? is there a bypass mod for this limp mode?
thanks and cheers!
