VL berlina non turbo help

[Tuff-VP-Wagzz]

hey i just baught a vl, used to be a turbo, had a new engine put in without a turbo
on the way home from buying it thought i might give it a bit but wont go over 2500rpm
if i use the shifter and put it in first it will go past 2500rpm but not when its in drive,
does this have a rev limiter or something in it, not sure what to do
this question might have been asked but im new to the VL's
thanks

possibly airflow meter man.
or Fail safe mode(limp home feature)
But pull the codes from the ECU and let me know what u get... Follow the How too in my Signature below

Sounds like a few wires for the Auto trans computer weren't reconnected properly.

All VL stock ECU's have a rev limit, the 3EA/3TA are set at 6400rpm and the 3TA/3TM are 6600rpm if I recall correctly.
The Stock ECU also go in to a fail safe rev limit when specific sensors go out of range. The rev limit introduced is around 3300rpm

It might pay off to grab a workshop manual and check the Trans selector switch as it can causes shift problems in the later model transmissions.
Hope this helps
