Well I was taking my car up to the gas station yesterday, I accelerated out of a corner in 1st gear and my fuel shut came in at about 8000rpm... This was very disconcerting to say the least. I went home checked my plugs, oil, air filter (all seemed to be ok) and reset my ECU. Took the car back out and again, fuel shut off at 8000rpm.

I was thinking my car may need a valve adjustment, last one was 10,000 miles ago (getting a lot of valve chatter lately), but I dont think that in anyway is related to my problem. VTEC hits at the same rpm as before, 5800 on the tach, so I dont think the tach miraculously changed.

Do you guys have any ideas, suggestions, solutions? I have had way too many problems with this car and I am pretty sure when I get things sorted out it is going up for sale. It is one of the greatest cars to drive, but my problems continue. Help is very much appreciated.

The car is doesnt seem to be in limp mode (I have VTEC) I just have 600 less rpm to use.

There is no CEL.

I will see if the ECU is throwing a code. I am not worried about the tach being off, does anyone know or ever heard of a fuel shutoff just lowering?

Can the ECU be throwing a code if the check engine light is not on?

Thanks,
Brian
