yea i was driving actually just racing a friend and we had to stop but when i floored the car gas pedal all of a sudden i noticed my rpm hitting 7 then 8 and wouldn't go back up until i stop and started back up!! Is this a problem?

 

u mean it got stuck on the right side and would not bounce back???

 

You hit 8,000 RPMS ???

 

Was it in trip tronic?!

 

No tiptronic or sportshift on 1st gen TL's

 

might mean you need to replace your transmission fluid if it's happening on first gear

 

If he's hitting 8k RPM I think he might need to replace more than transmission fluid

 

Yea i hit 8000 RPM's and wouldnt like release until i let my foot off the gas but i talked to a mechanic he said that's fine the car has a powerful engine so i shouldnt worry bout something like that

 

Find a better mechanic.

I'll third that

 

Are you exagerating about the 8k or are you dead serious? Your redline is just below 7k so if you're actualy hitting 8k then for starters you have a problem with the rev limiter. When you over rev your engine, there is a good chance of breaking something in the valvetrain.

You wanna know what I think is happening? I think you're in over your head and you have no clue about what you're doing. You just mash the gas pedal to the floor and hold on. That is not good for your car, you or even other people on the road.

 

I still can't understand what exactly happened... ...and its amazing to see suggestions flowing in about what to do....

Can somebody explain....

 

He has the type R engine that revs to 8k

 

^^^ if it was a integra...

 

Maybe your tach is broken. Or the sensor cable.

Happens often enough on motorcycles.

 

yo man i know cars aight man i just got my engine rebuilt and this is happening but only once it happened hasnt done it after that time ok

 

are you sure this might be the problem i go check it out doe

 

i mean it running fine it juss feels sometime wen i drivin a bit hot air flowing in from the engine wit a kinda oil scent but apart from that its fine

 

Update:

Yea i found out that the limiter was taken off so if i start on first gear and floor the gas pedal i can hit 7 rpms then it will then change to second gear so that kinda kool wheni get intake an exhaust i be sounding real good:P

 

yeah really cool

 

No point in removing the limiter if no other engine work was done. Were the valve retainers replaced, or the valve springs, or the rockers upgraded to withstand higher RPMs? BTW, from what it sounds like, the limiter WASN'T removed, only the shift maps were changed. The tranny is now being told to shift at a higher RPM if you are at WOT, and that really isn't smart at the level yours is set. Another note, are you actually hitting 7K RPMs or is it around 6800? Isn't our stock fuel cut at 6800RPMs? If anything, the tranny is being told to shift at 6700, right before fuel cut, which again, isn't smart if you are bone stock.

~Cheers~

 

i need to investigate but yes my valve springs were changed alot of work was done to the engine so who knows wat but i go get it checked out

 

6800 is the limit for a 2.5 motor.

6200 is the limit for a stock Type I 3.2 motor.

 

okay i need to question this... unless i have been in a black hole for a while... i didn't know there was much aftermarket support for internal components for our engines...

 

That's right. I don't mean just stock replacements, I meant performance valve springs.

~Cheers~

 

Last time i did that i needed a new head gasket...i'm never doing that again

 

There is none. You either get JDM parts for a higher spec motor or you do custom.

 

I think Kam meant it sarcastically.

forgot to put it in red text...
