How exactly is it going into 'safe mode'? Are you noticing a difference in power levels, is the light on the dash coming on, what's happening exactly?

And describe this 'major lag'. What are you comparing it to? What kind of setup does the car have?

Without some basic info about the problem we're all playing a guessing game.

hey guys never mind about that problem.. im thinking its due to a blown head gasket, but im going to drop a 1jz motor into the car.
