Ok guys i need a little help. I just bought an acord coupe v6 from 2000 with 201k miles on it and i've incountered a little problem..... i dont know if my car has a rev limiter but when i try to accelerate fast it jams up on 3000 rpm and will not go farther just gets stuck there until i let my foot off the gas but i am able to go faster as long as i accelerate between 2000 & 2900 rpm!!! I have been able to get to a speed of 95 mph and i probably can go faster, its just that i find it VERY annoying not being able to accelerate more than 2.900 rpm!!!

SO CAN ANYBODY TELL ANYTHING USEFULL AND HELP ME OUT?

 

not a rev limiter problem. The car is in "limp mode". Limp mode is activated when there is a problem with the engine/electrical system.

Have someone scan for any error codes through the OBD II port.

 

yeah lots of people have been telling me that its in limp mode im not pushing the car alot and this weekend im getting my friend to lend me his scaner to get the code and just some heads up the guy i bought the car from put in a new transmission.. and thx for the info!!!

 

i just checked with a friend of my fathers that has a scanner and it gave him a code 1059 i think and a v-tek problem????? can anybody help me out?
