ok my 2000 SI redlines at 5k wtf!

need help

 

any cels?

 

limp mode:S?

 

What is limp mode?

 

if ur goin 2 tall me to unplug my ecu and plug it back up ive tried that!

 

When your ECU detects a major problem it goes into limp mode. It basically dumps an ***-load of fuel into the engine to make sure you make it home.

 

ok what major problem could it have? oil is not low!

 

does your check engine light go on when you red line a 5k?

 

Check to see if you have any CEL codes, the method is in the FAQ.

 

no check engine light

 

Never mind it has no light bulb so IDK

 

Check to see if you have any codes, then go from there.

go buy a bulb and check because thats what happen to my friends B20. i think it's your ECU

 

this has happen to me before, but it was cause of my knock sensor i think? im not to sure.

 

i had the same problem at different rpms... i was given the ckp code for the crank position sensor and even after changing that still had the problem.. ended up being my ecu switched that out everything was good

 

ok goin to try another ECU

 

I had that problem after my b16a swap too, except mine hit rev-limiter at about 4K... it turned out that it was my obd2-obd1 conversion harness... i got a new harness and problem solved!
My old harness was in really bad shape, it had been spliced back together in multiple spots... so i dont know if that would be your problem too, but its worth checking into...

 

check valve timing.

put a new timing belt on it and put it in time again, mine was doing the same thing, and i just replaced the timing belt and put it in time, runs like a champ
