Ok so im coming home from school and i get on it hard on the on ramp then when it hits red and i start to shift it bogs like a **** and wont go over 3100 rpms. so I try to make it hope then **** starts spraying all over the winshield I thought it was oil but it turned out to be antifreeze. So I try to make it home but it starts running crappier and crappier so I turn it off and get pulled home.. I noticed my upper radiator hose got a hole in it.. but what the hell why do I have a 3k rpm limiter now? and why does it run like poop? what did i break?

No its not. There is a rev limiter for a reason.

 

sounds like u might have popped the headgasket?

 

^^^^ I'm with him

 

are you sure... what fuse resets the ecu?

 

Just disconnect battery for 30 seconds, and reconnect. If you are lucky you just got the distributor soaked, or plug wires are arcing from being soaked. Causing you to only berunning on a couple of cylinders.

I second that. I've gotten plug wires wet before, car ran like crap. Just replace the jose, dry everything off, reset the ecu and give it a go. You're not blowing smoke out the back are you?

Oh yeah disconnect the spark plug wires and stick a rag down the spark plug holes to soak up any water that might be down there. Good luck.

 

it idles good and will rev up to 3k rpms then just act like it hit the rev limiter... i took the plugs off and dried it all up... any other ideas guys and i think disconecting the battery didnt reset the ecu.

 

I did reset the ecu. There is obviously still a problem. that needs to be fixed. Thats why it is still holding u back

 

did you get a CEL from all this? could have put the computer in retard mode. also, a wet dizzy can do this too. do you have any poping? rough idle?

Try also checking inside the dizzy cap, 3 Phillip head hold it on.

If they have lots of wear, or are covered in something,
it can make it seem like you have a bad rev limiter.

 

are your wires all purpleish where they go over the plugs?

i fried my wires once doing a burnout with my gsr

i changed all kinda **** thinking i fried stuff but it didnt fix anything

put a new set of wires and it solved my problem

That sounds like your problem. Pull off the cap, wipe it down real good, slap it back together and see what happens.

 

yeah it was a headgasket there was a ton of oil and coolant in cylinder number 2. But anyway now my idle is really irratic it goes up and down like 1000 rpms every few seconds.

im going to assume you replaced the head gasket then... and the idle up and down problem, try pulling your iacv off and cleaning it, the screen and inside of it could be all gunked up and causing it to idle wierd.

 

yeah thats what a friend said he thought it was... what do you recommend cleaning it with? brake cleaner , carb cleaner, or just a good wipedown?

 

Brake or Carb cleaner work just fine or some simple green.
