i have a b16a a/t that used to rev up to 8200 before shifting now it shifts only at 7000rpms. would you have any ideas? im thinking it could be the kickdown cable which i can't seem to find.

 

Your throttle cable might have stretched and isnt opening the throttle all the way up.

 

ive already checked that and it is does go WOT it just really shifts at 7000. im really stumped with what could be wrong with it. thanks for the reply.

 

throttle cable has nothing to do with how high the car revs.

what ecu are you running?
any check engine lights?
and check the distriutor. it could be fried somwhere.

 

using a pr3 w/ a separate box for the tranny .. well i use to have cel lighting up before had may engine rebuilt, okay would it be best to just rewind/overhaul the distributor?

 

btw i forgot to mention ive lost a lot of torque and recently drove a sohc vtec and it has more torque and same power as my b16a

 

Do you still have VTEC? Check your ECU for codes.

 

So you have a jdm b16 with a b16 automatic trans right? well a at has a cable for the throttle valve that maybe out of adjustment. do you have 2 cables going to you tb?

 

crx .. the vtec still goes on and there are no error codes

trever .. thats the problem i was looking for 2 cables to the tb but there's only one? i was looking for the other one and couldn't find it

 

Did it only rev to 7000 when the car was not warmed up? Because if the car is not to Normal operating temperature the ECU wont let you rev past 7000. It did the same thing to me when I first did my swap and then figured out that VTEC and reving to 8200 only works if the car is warmed up.

 

yeah i ran it when it was running in normal temps ..
