Rev Limiter Disappeared??? Help!
Alright, you know the CLS has a rev limiter so that when your in neutral, you cant rev it passed ~4500rpm's.......well mine suddenly disappeared. I mean i can rev it to redline in neutral and in park.
Any ideas what this could be>>?

take it on the road and drive to see if it is still there. that may be your best option. dunno if there is something when you are parked. unless u have this strange obsession with sitting in your cl and revving the f out it

The rev limiter is not a fixed device; it is software code in the ECU. If the ECU is not limiting the revs when required something is not being read correctly. This would lead me to believe that there are other problems not being realized.
Check to see if there are any codes and see if this occurs after resetting the ECU; maybe it just needs a "re-boot".
After that take it to a dealer. If that is not an option, follow killer's advice.

Your top speed may no longer be regulated.

or maybe he just simply wanted to rev the motor up. Either way it doesn't matter. What does matter is his limiter doesn't work. Put the car in first and see if you can bounce off of it while driving.

speaking of rev limiters,I think allmotor posted that the ecu
stores an occurence when you hit the rev limiter.Does removing
power (re-boot) erase this or do you have to use a scanner to
clear it. Last time the car was at acura they asked if I race it. wtf
I do bounce it off the limiter from time to time. just to make sure
it works of course.

The over revving which would be recorded could really only be done in a manual where you accidentally downshift.
