My car goes into limp mode randomly. It happens sometimes at start up just before I hit 2k rpms . It doesn’t die it just won’t let me accelerate for a few seconds. But recently it has done it in the mid range and more often. No codes. I did get a code once for tps but the voltages were ok in wot and closed position? It’s a stock gsr! Any ideas?

“Limp mode”. LOL

That sounds like an ignition coil or the ignitor to me. Have you checked either of those?
