rx7 fc limp mode issue.



just recently got my rx7 and its been running good but came with a “limp mode” issue. when in gear and ONLY when in gear, the car hits a wall at 3500 rpm exactly and struggles to rev beyond that point. I read a few threads on this (https://www.rx7club.com/2nd-generation-specific-1986-1992-17/1986-n-wont-rev-past-4-000rpm-753264/ this being the main one) and can’t seem to figure out exactly what it is since none of these problems should be in-gear specific. the car will rev to 8000 no problem in nuetral or with the clutch in. any ideas are appreciated. also if anyone knows where the obd-1 port is that would help a lot. (1988 rx7 fc NA 13b engine)

This link has a detailed "How To" on reading check engine light (CEL) codes on the Series 4 RX7's - FC3S Pro v2.0:&nbsp How-To - Zenki FC3S Error Codes

Follow that procedure, read out whatever CEL codes are presented, and post the CEL codes here to diagnose further.

It won't even start & run without the AFM plugged in, so it's not that.
