Completly stock accord. Year 2000. Engine vtec. Automatic Tranny.

Question. When car is in park and in neutral it does not go past 5000 rpm. Just kind of chokes. When driving though no problem. My question is is this normal? Is this because the car is Vtec and there is no load? New to Accords and the Vtec engines. Please your help is much appreciated

 

anyone please help.....As I might buy this car sometime soon

 

i believe theres a limit to revs in non drive gears....it so you wont slam it into a drive gear at high revs and burn out the tranny and torque converter....

This is correct... When not in park or neutral, the rev limiter is lower, at roughly 5k rpms.

 

from my knowledge and from what ive heard for years, is it isnt good to rev that high anyway without being in gear

iv ehard anything above 2rpms not geared isnt good on the motor or tranny...

 

ok...so I take this is normal

yeah, my av6 does it.

completely normal, even lancer evolution MRs have this feature. if you pull it into gear, it really does a number on the transmission

 

Thanks you guys were all on point..
