i was wondering why my car cuts off at 5000 rpms? is it something with the ecu? if so wat can u do to get rid of that?

 

When?

Auto or manual?

In neutral or in gear?

CEL on?

 

watcha mean by when?

manual

gear

CEL?

 

He means give us some more information like when does this happen????

CEL = Check Engine Light
-Rik

 

umm like i said 5000 rpm and no cel thats pretty much it. i thought it was the ecu so i switched the stock one out for a gsr one but it still does the same thing but with the gsr one the cel is on ummm anything else u need to know cuz i don't really know much about any of this so do get mad

 

If the check engine light is on, put the original ECU back in and take it to an auto parts store to read the code.

If I understand you correctly, if you rev the car in neutral, or if you take it to 5K rpm in a gear, it cuts out there, right? When this happens while you drive, does it buck the car back and forth? That would be a fuel cutoff.

I think the CEL has something to do with it.

 

should i just take both of the ecu's and have them read the code?

and yea it cuts off at 5k and yup it bucks back and forth so wat is a fuel cutoff? and keep this in mind i'm a noob so don't get mad lol

the cel only came on when i changed the ecu.

i also heard that there is like a chip in the ecu that makes the car cut off at a certain rpm. like it came stock so people don't race and all that crap. is that true? could it be that?

 

lol no thats not it lol put the original ecu back in tho

yea it's back in but still cuts off at 5k rpm.

 

so nobody else knows why? i know you guys know

 

lalalala

 

 

does it have vtec? if so, check your engine oil... If you're really low, they can really bog and mess up right when, or a little after it hits vtec.

 

neh no vtec even it's a ls

 

My GSR is doing the exact same thing right now. When I get to about 5000 rpms It dies and the check engine light comes on. The code on my car is 15 ignition output signal. I am pretty sure that it is the ignition control module. I ordered a new one but it is not here yet. You should find out what code it is and that will help you narrow down the choices of what is wrong. This article tells you how to pull the code and what the codes mean- http://www.team-integra.net/se...ID=34

From what I've gathered, he doesnt have a cel...
Only when he swapped to a gsr ecu, which would throw a CEL since his engine doesnt have vtec.

 

Ya your right. sorry

 

neh you shouldn't be sorry just giving ur opinion and it's worth a shot to look at watcha tellin me cuz really don't know wat to do right now but if u guys any more ideas just let me know

 

any more ideas???

 

what year is your car again?

You never did state whether or not it was an automatic or manual transmission either.

 

99 and yea i told u it was a manual right there
