Your problem is not the mafs, limiting your rev too 2500rpm nor do you have codes that say....... well anything! There is no limp mode that stops the fuel pump from priming. I guess you can say, any car that is running messed up is in limp mode!

Then again I would say check the ecu for codes!!!
Take your ecu and put it in another car with the same harness, and try to pull codes
The SR20DET does indeed have a "limp mode" . It defaults to pre-stored values under certain conditions which are hard coded into the ECU and illuminates the red LED on the ECU.

This is particularly annoying because when an SR20DET ECU is in this "limp mode" the consult port does not function, nor will the self-diagnostic modes (flashing lights) making it that much harder to diagnose.
