i gotta 94' GSR, and it bounces at 7k-rpm instead of the normal 8.5k. someone help me?

 

does vtec kick in? because of not you might have the ls ecu in. check the ecu the gsr is a p72

 

8.5 is normal?

 

yea vtec is at 4.5ish... but it just bounces at 7? lol no one has been able to tell me what the problem is yet. and the computer says p72, and just to make sure i swapped mine with my freinds. and it worked just fine for him. so idk? and to the other guy . yes gsr redline is 8.5

 

No, I have a gsr and it redlines at 8200.

 

lol my bad. yea it's 8.2 but i still gotta find out why it is bouncin at 7.. any ideas anyone?

 

your prob. pullin 8200 but the tach reads 7 because thats what happened in my friends gsr hatch and then he put a dc2 gauge cluster in and it solved the problem

 

my 98 dc4 bounces at 7400 or 7500, redline at 6800 O_o

 

have the gauge needle been modified? This could lead to tachometer inaccuracy.

 

well i figured it's either a wiring problem, or the gauges. but it's a gsr swap ina 94 civic coupe. and the gauges are the stock gauges.

Connect an external tachometer to verify the reading. The stock tachometer was not designed for accuracy at 8000 RPM.

 

My friends GSR did the same thing. turned out his rotor cap was shot. We replaced that it worked just fine.

 

i know if cel is on for vtec solenoid not working it will cut at 7

correct, but then he did say vtec was engaging. so if the cell was on vtec will not engage.

 

thanks to everyone for there suggestions. i think ill try the external tachometer first, but i do have my doubts about the vtec. it does kick in.. but for some reason i burn oil at about 5k+ rpms. anyone help me with that as well?

 

it's probably that your burning oil all the time but only noticing it at high rpms because it is so minor; but that is just a possibility

if vtec is engaging and your intake manifold isn't clogged, i wouldnt know why the ecu would cut at 7 but...
basic troubleshooting would tell you to check sensors such as map sensor and cyp sensor, which is the dizzy-the dizzy is probably what i would check first if vtec is engaging with secure electrical wiring and if there is no cel

 

btw you can properly check the dizzy terminals through the helms repair manual troubleshooting walkthrough

 

well i know that my car throws the check engine light, but i thought it was just because absence of the knock sensor. cas this gsr isn't in an actual teg. it's in a 92-95 civic coupe.

 

the only bad thing about this whole ordeal is... i live in BFE. it's very rare if i could possibly find anyone around here that has any clue on what there talkin about. kind of a country area xD. "if it aint a ford or a dodge" its a rice burner? haha.

most likely valve seals. if you hit vtec alot they wear out.

 

your dizzy could be in limp mode!! check cap and dizzy

 

yea i belive it's the seals.. and hey nik i think you might be right.. i had a dude tell me that since my car was throwing the check engine light, due to my knock sensor..( which i hope that's the only reason it's on) well anyways he said my car would be running in "limp mode". so it's deff some kinda wiring or sensor problem =[

 

and can someone plz explain the "dizzy terminals" to me. i'd appreciate it =]

thanks for the post guys

 

what i meant was the terminals for your ignition coil, that the manual refers to as "terminals a and b"

 

ight thanks bro.
