If it wont rev over 2000 rpm its in LIMP MODE - engine safety if it thinks there is a major problem

Everything was ok until you bought a little gas?
Was it a REALLY empty at the time?

any other details? like,, you were racing and caught 2nd looking for 4th gear?

na, it feels limp. if you push it, it goes but like your on a real bumpy road, gonna call acura. as soon as i put in that gas from 30 miles to empty, it started. probably some sensors. I am pissed but since acura installed the s/c er its covered....
