I had a buddy install a clutch kit for me a few weeks ago. He's a mechanic, so i thought he'd be familiar with the job, but the motor's been acting up since he gave it back to me. It happens randomly... i reach 5500 rpm, when vtec is supposed to kick in, and the motor behaves exactly as it does at the redline. If i turn the car off and on again, the problem stops, but eventually comes back. I don't know if the clutch install had anything to do with this, so i don't want to point any fingers, but i do want to know what's going on with my car. Please post a solution if you have one. PLEASE!!!

 

Any suggestions??? I'm i even ok to keep driving the car?

 

Check for loose wires and grounds. There's a ground wire for the ecu on the top of the thermostat housing, not uncommon to be left loose, and can cause erratic behavior.

 

yeah, i quickly checked for any loose wires or harnesses. i didn't see anything, but i'll check more thouroughly. thanks. any other suggestions out there?

 

is the car warmed up? cold rev limit is a little higher than 5500, but if it isnt warmed up it may cut earlier than you expect. just an idea.
