ITR won't redline
Ok so ever since I had my car tuned up it has done this off and on, but the last 2 nights I have been playing around with it (the caR) and it won't really redline.
What I mean is that around 7000 rpms (usually) and after sometimes even at 9000 it goes into limp mode and the check engine light comes on. When I let off the gas the check engine light goes right off.
1. I checked all the wires on the hondata to make sure none were hitting each other somehow due to a splice or something, and I checked the connection to the VAFC and it looks good.
So heres my theory. I have very balled front tires and the limp mode usually happens on acceleration after 7k when I hit a bump.. so maybe the wheel spin is causing the limp mode? I am not ******* the car, but I have been flooring it when I have a open road trying to figure out whats going on, if its a tuning thing or just a wheel spin issue of some sort... let me know guys. I already called my tuner about it.
One last thing, my dizzy (as some of you may remember) is kinda shitty (its stock by the way) and I still have some issues with it... i am thinking that may be the problem as well. I just dont have money for a new one right now.

If that was the case, no one would ever turbo Hondas.
Our cars don't sense wheel spin unless you have wheel speed sensors and traction control set up.

Re: (RTW DC2R)
Hondata S100. And I believe you are right, its the distributor. I swapped on another one (someone lended me one) and drove around. So its looks like I will getting another dizzy soon.
CaR drives fine with the one now... just not going to be able to take it much past 7K.
