Good morning,

Is the check engine light on?

You can go to a parts store and have it checked for free. Once you know the code, then let me know so I can narrow down the area of failure.

Hello,

This is a common problem and 9 time out of 10. the throttle bore is dirty which causing the computer and throttle actuator to lose correlation making the car go into limp mode. Here is a guide that will help:

Got it.

I attached a possible issue below. You need to verify the fuse listed for power on both sides.

If there is power, then looks like you have a failed PCM.

Make sure you have it flashed to your VIN number.
