Default Check Engine Light comes on only after hitting 6000rpms

this happened to me last night. I was driving with 2 other people in the car and after hitting 6000rpms, the fuel cut off as if i was hitting the rev limiter and the check engine light came on.

I pulled over, stopped the car, then started it up again with no Check Engine Light. ok, cool. I drove around for a bit keeping it under 4000rpm's and still no CEL. ..getting curious and anxious I brought it up to 6000 and the same thing happend -fuel cuts off and the CEL comes on.

I have a '94 gsr with ~140,000 miles. The car drives fine as long as i keep it under 6000rpms (when the secondaries come in). Anyone have any ideas? I wanted some opinions before i start taking it around to shops

thanks!

Why don't you just check the codes? It could be a hundred different things. But since your light comes on, it makes everything so much easier.

Just run the code and see what it is.

I had the exact same problem at the ITR EXPO last year, but it only popped up after driving at a constantly high rate of speed, just reset the ecu.

i bet you get a 22 - you reset the ecu by unplugging the battery right?

I got that code, 22 right after I boosted hard through the top of 4th gear. It wasn't a fuel cut, but it stopped pulling hard, and I noticed that the tach would jump around from like 7-8k. I added a little oil (it was a little low) and then the problem went away. Well for a day at least, the next day, my engine blew. hahahah It wasn't because of the code thou, I just overboosted.
