I own a 2004 Mazda 6 2.3L automatic. The ABS and the engine light were coming on and throwing the car in limp mode. Mazda dealership diagnosed the issue and determined an ABS module failure. My local mechanic supplied and fitted one for me which got rid of the ABS and engine light on the dashboard, but now the car has difficulty accelerating. It idles fine but as soon as I step on the gas it bogs and pops like as if the timing is completely out. Disconnecting the throttle sensor however makes the car rev happily, however when doing that it causes the engine light to come back on and throw the car in limp mode. Any ideas?

The PC is a Dell Dimension 8400 with a fresh install of windows XP pro SP3 and the hard drive is a 160Gb SATA. There is no option in the BIOS about power features and it's all on factory default settings.
