i have a gsr motor in my civic...

when i try to redline it.. it reaches 8000rpms in my 1st and 2nd gear but on my 3rd gear the engine just cuts off before i reach 7000rpms..

what could be the reason for that???

 

is your vtec engaging

 

You throwing any CELs?

 

don't trust your tach.

 

yes my vtec is engaging

 

Do you have any CELs?

 

sorry what are CEL

 

CEL= check engine light...... i think, haha

your stock tach could just be off

 

when it cuts off does it sound like your hitting your rev limiter?

i agree.. your tach is probably off.

 

yes my engine checklight is on

hrm maybe i should go change the tach and see how it performs than

Here is a hint: The solution to your problem is hidden inside the ECU.

Pull that code, that will probably what is wrong... Either that, or

But if his tach was off why would it be accurate in 1st and 2nd? Pull the code.

 

pull the code and see what it is before you do anything further, take it one step at a time

 

im sorry im so new at this... what do yall mean by pulling the code??

 

go to autozone and have them check your cel code for free they will tell you what ur ecu is trying to tell you with that beautiful cel

 

thanks ill do that
