Limp mode symptoms?

I'm just curious what are the symptoms of limp mode and what are the causes?

I replaced my clutch, pressure plate, and flywheel because I thought the clutch was slipping really bad so I wasn't having any power above ~6k rpms. They have been replaced but I still have no power up top.

I've searched up and down but can't find anyone with this problem.

Limpmode=Barely drivable.
Feels like blown apex seals
runs like absolute **** but can still get you home

Your symptom sounds like bad grounds, the stock ones are shitty, and after 20 years are even shittier. Follow the ground guide in the second gen archive.
Check the basics as well, such as your fuel filter, etc.

Thanks. I was thinking that perhaps it was an electrical problem of sorts but not the grounding problem because I have no 3,80rpm hesitation. I will get that checked out thanks!
