light flywheel throwing car into limp mode (crankshaft sensor P0336). Is there a way to permanently disable limp mode? thanks

Lightweight flywheel shouldn't cause that code. I ran an ACT Streetlite for years more than a decade without that code popping up. Crankshaft sensor is on the opposite side of the engine (timing belt side adjacent to the crank pulley, about the 1-2 o'clock position if you're looking directly at the pulley). You likely have to replace the sensor (use Honda OEM for best results -- we've seen too many instances where people use a generic brand and it just gives them hell)

Is this a 7th gen Civic or something newer? I know lightweight flywheels can cause issues with newer models.

yes.
solve the underlying problem.
limp mode is there to prevent further damage to the engine.

after market Crank Position Sensors do not work!!!!!!!! anyone reading this take heed. i can't believe they sell them nationally, but putting in OEM honda part solved all
my problems!

well, that is quite well known...
if you just to a quick search, you would know that Hondas are very finicky with sensors, so we always recommend to use OEM...
