NOTHING changed same bull****... sosomeone suggested MAP sensor... changed that also.. not a fawking thing changed!!! so then took it to a shop AGAIN... they told me its the ECU... im like GREAT!!! fawk et.. got the another ECU and had it reprogrammed to my car... and WAM!!! CEL is gone.. so now im like THANK GOD... so here we go for a test drive... and BAM!!! cant rev pass 3500rpm again.. but this time car can actually get close to 60mph... and if u floor it tranny will downshift but engine boggs like if it has a fuel but type of chet... so basically ANY SUGGESTIONS??? at this point in time... im about to burn the fawking car... honda

Stop throwing parts at it and try to diagnose it. You're just making it twice as expensive as it should be.

Is it throwing any codes? If it is, get the codes and post them up.

has anyone checked cam timing and or for a plugged exhaust system??
you stated (CEL IS GONE ,) after they replaced the ECU .. what was the original code ?? anyone checked for a possible bad torque converter ??
and on the final note ,, instead of wasting money like that take it to a shop that specializes on Hondas or the dealer to PROPERLY DIAGNOSE the issue
