Default newb from wi

hello, my name is john and I'm from Wisconsin. I've found the need to sign up because I'm at the point in my project the local sources are coming up blank.

proof....

umm. well there's no exhaust on the car (looking for flanges/ downpipes) the car wont Rev past 3k, I just wired in the check engine light ( in factory location) and its on so I have to wire in the obd2 port LOL..

I'm sure its probably mad at me cause the o2 sensors sent hooked up.

but this 3k rpm thing is bugging me.... some sort of Rev limiter? limp home mode? idk but I'm going to go score a obd2 port.


unless your talking bout what part of Wisconsin and that be Janesville...you?
