i let the car warm up for about 1 min or 2 and i take off, just a normal drive on the street and when i pin it at about 3000 rpms feels like a governor kicked in, wont go past it, but after about 5 mins i drove it again and it was just fine. any ideas????

This is on a carburEFI'diesel powered vehicle? Year and mods will help.

If we assume you have EFI, have you pulled codes?

21 can be from an engine below operating temps.

Do you have any smog equipment on your car?
Specifically, is your EGR system functional?
