i have a 93 accord with an f22a and when i rev to 5000 rpm it goes flat wont rev past but runs great up till 5000 its getting enough fuel and spark is good. some help would be great thanks

 

Huh?

 

Make sure your cam timing is right (arrow on cam gear points up when the pointer above the crankshaft pulley points to the singular little line on the pulley itself)

 

ive been told to try that i still have to do that but i dont think thats what it is i have a water leak on the pass. side and i think it caused a short or something in the ecm but thanks im still goin to check the timing let me know i you think it could be that thanks

 

CEL?
Any codes stored?

 

failing distributor?

 

i think i have the same problem...
it wont pass 5000 rpm..sounds like it doesnt want to go anymore...i have a 96 accord ex coupe
has anyone with the same model as mines exceeded 5000 rpm?? i was tryin to get higher rpm in first gear..i added a short ram intake.. and i thinks that is the only mod i did...
any suggestions?
maybe ecu??
or maybe because its kinda like the luxury version...i have all power and leather interior...

 

theres no codes and like that one guy said it just acts like it doesnt want to go faster but my friend has a 94 lx and his rev limiter doesnt kick in till 7000. it is possible it is a failed distibutor. i looked back in the files that came with my car and its already been replaced once but that was a long time ago and for a different prob. thanks for all the help

 

yeah..i dont really know wats wrong..might as well swap an h22

 

a friend of mines said it prolly is the govenor..he said changing the ecu or getting it chiped..maybe..

 

your friend has no idea what he is talking about then. the governor has to do with vehicle speed, not engine speed. and why should he suddenly swap to h22 because he is having a problem. Check out your timing if you know how to, if not, a repair manual will show you how. also, when you said you had no codes, do you mean that the light wasn't on? the bulbs do go bad behind the dash, so sometimes even if you have a code, you won't know until you actually check.

actually there is a rev limiter too.. but i don't think its that low in those.

 

unbolt your cat and see if it will rev.

check CMP and CKP output.

double check grounds

 

i finally got the time to check the timing belt and the cam was off 1-2 teeth i retimed it and thats what it was

 

Oh wow. I had this problem for over a year now, and no one gave me any suggestions. Mine cuts off, like when I hit the speed governor, like the fuel just cuts off and the RPM bounces back.

I just changed my distributer cap. I should test to see if I still have the problem.

How can you tell if the timing belt is off?
What will happen if it is off by 1-2 teeth? Is this like advanced or retarding timing?

 

i just found why mines wont pass 4k rpm..i had one of those indiglo things on my gauge..when it stoped working..i removed it..n took my car for a test drive after..n now it passes 4k like nothing..

I need some help i have a similar problem with my d15 vtec from hmotors. i put it in a stock 97 civic ex. the motor is all stock the problem is it hits what seems to be a rev limit at 5000. i do have a vafc2 hooked because the car use to be turbo. there is not a cel on and the light does work. the car idled around 1300 or 1500 and was lowered with the vafc and the spark plugs look like its running lean. please help

 

Start with getting a stock ecu and get it running with that and getting rid of the vafc, then if you does it when you hook up the vafc you know where to look.

 

I have a turbo f23 and my issue is my car won’t rev past 5k rpm. I’m not sure what it could be. I replaced my ecu, and vss and still didn’t do anything. My timing is right my car is straight piped so I don’t have a cat. My speedo doesn’t work but I’m thinking it’s my speedo but I’m not sure. I’m in need of some help lol. Thanks!

 

It would help if you mentioned what model/year car you have.

 

hey bro can you tell me how you fixed the cam timming

 

Vutha, this might help:

The video is about changing the belt, and around the 4:50 mark it shows where the alignment marks are. Hope this helps.
