help help help! rev limited at 3000 after timing belt

Help! I'm at a friends six hours from home with no internet. I'm on my phone so I can't really search.

We just did the timing belt and did a valve clearance adjustment and not everything together. It fired up and sounded great but when we went to test drive it is ECU rev limited at 3k. I think I saw a recent thread about this but can't find it. Please help.

get a code reader and hook it up first - your car is in limp mode, so codes should appear.

Most common causes are a pinched wire or you left a connector loose. Still need to check for codes though.

Re: help help help! rev limited at 3000 after timing belt

Thanks for the advice. We got it figured out a couple hours after it happened. It turned out the crank sensor had been fouled when we drained the coolant so we blew it out with an air gun and plugged it back in and it was good to go.
