I have a LS engine in my EJ and I am running an automatic ECU will this make the car to run sluggish? I know about it might throw a code bc of the tranny solenoid. Thanks in advance 8)

No. It will just throw a CEL but it's not one that will put the ECU into limp mode.

just take 100% of your vehicles power and cut it in half. thats limp mode. it keeps ya from damaging somthing in your engine.

When i got my car it had an Auto ECU it ran sluggish. No matter what gear it was running rich always tached out at like 3k 3.5k in 5th. It just doesn't deliver what the gear is looking for.
