Do a search on this... Apparently the ECM goes into "limp home" mode (cuts max rpm) if it detects any one of the sensors showing warning signs (ie oil pressure low). Prob one of the sensors is bad. He needs a code reader to see if there are faults recorded on the ECM. There is also a thread on here on how to make your own (very simple). If that doesnt help, he could start swapping sensors to find the fault, rather than throwing money at it.
