Are you shifting into the next gear or just running the **** out of it until you hit the fuel cut off? I know the D16Y7 has long gears, but you still have to shift every few minutes.

i thought the engine limits your revs by cutting off the spark, not fuel.. anyways, is the car only dying out when you drive it? just start up the car and rev it. see if the car dies out at redline
