Just got the ep3 booted up after being in the garage for six months, and broken down in somebody elses garage for 3 years. We had to virtually replace the entire engine head and cams, and now the compression is pretty good. (it was terrible before and the 4th cylinder had 100% leakage.) We started her up last night and she sounded fine, so we put her in gear and took her around the block. In both 1st and 2nd gears we couldnt go past 3k rpms, and we didnt go into third because of this. ANy ideas what the problem may be?

Make sure the IACV is operating correctly and make sure that the oil pressure switch is connected.

happened to me too. I would have to keep turing the care on and off. It stopped after an oil change.
