its the speed sensor, if you unhook the speed sensor and plug it back up it will take off like normal until it realizes that the speed sensor is bad and then slow down, It will not take off again fast until you unplug the speed sensor again. I know this because I went thru this same issue last year even after replacing with new speed sensors from nivel but they were all bad, I got an OEM one and it worked perfect

Before you do that, run cart and stop it but don't lock brakes. Now push it, if it starts beeping the speed sensor is probably okay. Also put it in diag mode and see what it tells you. Key off, rock FnR from n to r 5 times then back to n. It should beep 1-4 times to tell you what mode you are in. Now drive it and listen for beeps. Should give you a failure code..

Kgsc, i did push the cart, no beeps, and i wasn't getting a code from diag mode, but i had a new speed sensor form ezgo so i swapped it out, now it does the same thing, goes fast then drops down, put it on tow mode, switch it back and it does the same thing again, push the cart still no beeps, but now in drag mode its telling me its a i have a bad sensor, i checked the magnet 3 times and it is good..any advise on where to look next?

Might be better to buy an altrax controller. It gets ride of the speed sensor all together. but then again if its not the speed sensor then what else could it be, Its supposed to been when you push it with the key on, If it doesnt ive always been told its the sensor

Don't the pds carts have like a Hall effect switch under the gas pedal? Maybe it's bad?

You need a new speed sensor. 8mph is limp mode when the controller gets no signal or intermittent signal. It's on the passenger side on the end of the motor

Check the connections on the controller itself and make sure that is making up..
