I have searched and searched with no luck in fixing my problem. I have an 89 crx with a b16. When I am in 3rd gear the car hits what feels like a rev limiter at 7400. If I am in first or second gear the car pulls to 8200 everytime without fail. My oil was freshly changed, my vtec selonoid screen was cleaned, my timing is perfect, my tps is perfect, and I have no CELs. I have gone crazy trying to fix it Please help. TIA

 

check your ecu, see if its auto

 

I dont think its an auto ecu based on the fact that it does rev to 8200 but only in first and second gear

 

yeah mine did it too, its was super wierd, mine in first just kept on going and never stopped lol and then in like 3rd when i wanted to do top speed it stopped at like 7200

 

its definitely stamped MT on the board

 

hmm maybe your tach is too slow

 

i wish that was the case..... but Im getting the rpms off my vafc

 

wow, this is almost as wierd as my problem, b16 gets teh vtec crossover but it doesnt make the vtec power

 

I just wish someone had an answer for this ridiculous problem

 

bump it ttt to help ya find an answer. My friends car does the same thing but its due to an auto ecu.

 

Have you dented your oil pan? Cause if so, your pick up tube might be bent and not supplying enough oil! Just a thought!

 

Mine redlines at 7400 in every gear. Does yours engage at 4300 at WOT? I read somewhere that some , very few though, PR3's come with a SOHC program! I wonder if this is true.?

you have a auto ecu, i guarentee it, i bet money that its auto, vtec engauges lower, and lower redline

 

the oil pan looks perfectly normal...... i'm running out of ideas

 

Just tried a different ecu with the same resullts

 

wow intresting.. bump......
hope someone out there has the answere.
