car wont idol after revving up

won't go above 20mph? sounds like it's stuck in limp home mode somehow :blink:

does the check engine light come on when you start it? it's supposed to, if it doesn't the light is blown, removed, or something major is wrong.

Could be a a number of things. Since it's a turbo car it complicates things a bit since it can be EGR, turbo leak, vac. lines, idle air control, ect...

It might have some stored codes, pull the codes and see. Could also be no fuel getting to the engine, fuel filter and pump could be the cause. Man, I'm outta ideas on this, but it sounds like it's in limp home mode from something, so you should have a code in the ECU...
