CEL plus won't go past 3k RPM
I own a 04 mt rx8 w/ 49.9k miles on it. Drove it this afternoon about 15 miles and the car ran just fine. Car sat about 5 hrs and when I started it, the CEL went on and it wouldn't go past 3k rpm. Drove it all the way home unable to go past 35mph w/ an average of 20-25mph most of the trip.

Well, after letting the car sit again for a bit it drove just fine and the CEL went off on its own. If the CEL goes on again ill take it to autozone asap as long as theyre still open near my house.

Alright so the CEL went on again this morning and i took it to autozone and then it wouldnt start up. Checked the battery ended up being bad and still wouldnt start even after jumping it. The codes read on the CEL were 2258x2, 2260x2 and 2102. They told me these are mazda factory codes and were unable to pull it up on the system.

car is up and running again after getting the battery recharged and terminals cleaned out a bit. only about 50 miles so far since then so not too sure if the CEL will go off again. Will post back if it does. Thanks again for the help.
