Title: A Few Probs
Post by drawlings on Dec 20^th, 2006, 10:50am

Hey Guys,

Just a few questions.

1) What might cause the engine not to rev up sometimes. Could it be a sensor?

2) Also, if the engine gets over 4000 revs it starts to spluter.

Any Ideas?

Cheers

Dan

mileage is 100k.
its at the idle stage.
mpg is fine.

Also I was told it could be the coil lead

cheers

hi there

try not to rev it hard at idle. it's bad for the engine and a limiter might be kicking in. not sure. :-/

i'm a bit lost here. ??? what's the problem with it driving?

It's limited to 4000rpm in park and neutral I believe :).

Bad coil pack would give a slight misfire, does it feel like it's misfiring/hesitating or just hitting a limiter?
