Well for some reasen when the car hits 5500 RPMs(when i am driving) it acts like i hit the rev limitor, it won't go past that point It is just like when you are in park and give it to much gas and hit the limiter it just bounces right of 5500rpm i don't know what to do! Anyone have any ideas what it could be?

 

come on guys someone has to know something

 

sounds like a busted transmission...
take it to the dealer.

 

my CL did that to me a couple times, but it would always reset itself after I turned the car off and back on again...is this a constant problem for you?

 

yes, it does it in almost every gear

 

 

DEALER ASAP

 

its could be your ecu

a friend of mine's civic did that when he switched out to the 1.8 gsr engine in his si

when the ecu wasnt correctly programmed it defaulted to a 5500 rev limiter cut off

 

anyway i can fix it myself? reset ecu?

 

oh yeah the trans doesn't seem to be acting funny, no slipping or anything, no check engine light either.

 

The transmission could go at any moment before displaying any symptoms.


If you want to try resetting the ECU, then disconnect the red side of the battery for at least 15 minutes.

 

why avoid the dealer with these types of hazardous issues?

get it in there as soon as you can d00d.

 

Some of the more “questionable” MOD items in his Signature might have something to do with that decision.

 

I'll take a stab at it...

does the apexi v-afc have a rev limiter fuction to it? I always wanted a rev limiter just in case you...

#1 loan the car to some1 else...
#2 valet your car...
#3 want to do an "ultimate" gas mileage test so you limit yourself to 3k rpms

 

Didn't I read something on this board about how it will do that if oil level or pressure is low?

 

Good point. My old cars had this feature, too.

It might also be the coolant level. Once I lost the coolant cap on the bottom of the car, my old Tahoe, (believe it or not, a rock hit precisely on the cap and ripped it off ) and it was driving me insane trying to figure out why the RPM's wouldn't go above 3,500 RPM. Finally remembered reading about it in the owner's manual, looked it up, and proceeded to replace the cap and fill coolant back up. Problem solved.

So, yeah, check your oil level and coolant level. Good catch, Vlad.

 

Yeah Shawn got it right the dealer is my last option only because i do not want to have to remove everything from the car to bring it in just to find out it was somethhin stupid like coolent level thanks Pure i will be sure to check that out, COME ON GUYS KEEP EM COMING!! Thanks for everyones help so far and no the apexi does not have a limiter.

 

Haha, I like this mod.

Comptech Tit Strut Bar.

I like my tits soft and loose, though. To each his own.

 

Yeah, I relized that the other day, pretty funny

 

problem solved?

 

no not yet, any ideas?

 

my car did that when the tranny died.

 

Somewhere on this forum I read that there is a fuel cutoff switch that engages in neutral. It cuts the fuel at exactly 5500 rpm and is different from the cutoff that kicks in when you over rev the engine. Maybe it's failing to disengage when you shift out of neutral?

Disconnect the battery for 10 minutes, then hook it back up again. That will reset the ECU.

 

Yeah it's not going over 5500 rpm, i was testing it tonight and it only seems to do it in 1st and second i will try to reset the ecu tommorow, and see what happens
