Hi Folks anyone know what might be the issue here? I just replaced radiator, air condensor, intercooler. topped up coolant and turn on the ignition for the first time after the car had accident. the engine light is on and cant rev past 4k. ESP light was on before the ignition but went away after. the engine had weird/concerning sound seems like it was not getting enough power and shaking. but that went away too afterwards. the video can be found in the link below

The car isn't supposed to rev past 4k in neutral...

Why don't you just try driving it

Unless you are running a tune… if you tune it, you can rev past 4K while in neutral.

go drive it and run a OBD2 session and see what the car is saying
