Re: Rev Limiter

If there is an aftermarket computer plug in it may have a valet mode, but the 4000 rpm thing still doesn't sound right. I think you have something wrong there. Too many things to say what, maybe a restriction in the intake or exhaust? Have a look at the air filter, fuel filter, cap rotor too. If you just bought it, a full tune up is probably a good place to start including all new filters. Good luck

Re: Rev Limiter

Few more details would be helpful. Does it rev strong to 4k then quit or just sort-of peter-out there?

Re: Rev Limiter

Hi there Don W & everybody else.
It pulls strong then it feels like it hits the rev limiter at 4000rpm.
Any ideas guys.
I will adjust the TV cable & change the ignition leads,plugs etc.
Could the ECM be at fault..?
Thanks

Re: Rev Limiter

fwiw, 4k isnt far off peak power.. if you want to rev it to 5k, it will drop power unless you have aftermarket heads/cam.

Re: Rev Limiter

Coming back to this rev limiter problem,
If i rev the engine in neutral or park, the engine revs perfect to 5000rpm.
if i put the shifter into drive, it pulls strong to about 4200rpm then it feels like its hitting the rev limiter,if i put the shifter into d2 overdrive & floor it ,it hits the rev limiter at 3900 - 4000rpm.
Does it sound like a transmission problem to you....
I have adjusted the TV cable as suggested,but it didnt feel like it was spring loaded when i adjusted it,could it have come out of the trans end....
Thanks,
LIMEYTY. :tup:
