I just finished the v8 swap into my desert truck. The motor runs great when the truck isn't rolling. When I put it in gear at approximately 2-3 mpg the engine goes into limp mode.
Does anyone know why it's doing this?

Wiring harness cut down and simplified.
ECU reprogrammed pats delete, smog delete, custom tune
No vss


Any help is appreciated.
 






Can you pull the engine codes? No one can say much without knowing the codes causing the limp mode.
 






I need my wiring guy to wire me in a obd2 port.
I have no way of reading codes until that happens.
 






Ouch. I really don't know what to say. There are a bunch of threads on what happens with no vss signal, and it looks kind of like it depends what year of pcm you have. Without knowing codes, it's best guess.
