SUP yea'll
i have a problem i just bought a 99 accord ex, with the VTEC motor, when i'm idling on Park or NEutral it backs off( rev limits) at 5000 rpm. but when i'm driving it REV LIMITS at 4000 rpm. SO when i want to pass some one and i mash it a lil it starts to rev and wouldnt go NO WHERE it almost killed me yesterday. if yea'll no i would really appericate it.

thanx

1. I have no idea why you'd want to rev in park like that.
2. what transmission? AT? MT?

:slap: The idle rev limiter is there so you don't screw up your engine more than you already are from revving it out of gear. Since there's very little resistance on the crank (read: no gear), the engine spins almost effortlessly and it's very bad for it. Maybe your car is trying to kill you for beating the crap out of it like that.

i think hes trying to say that he cant go above 4000 while driving

Yea,

im just telling u that it wouldnt go above 4-5 rpm in park or drive!!!!

its a AUTOMATIC, and i never dogged this car, i just got it about 2 months ago from a individual for a good price so. i realy dont know much about this body style!

thank god for having that limiter if not ur car will blow up.
is a fuel cutoff so u wont kill ur car, and why would u want to go above 5rpm while in park.

oh wait it wont go over 4-5rpm while driving it mmm there is something wrong then. how miles the car have? maybe when they did the timing they did it wrong. u should be able to red line it while driving like around 80mph for our slow auto.

Well I'm telling you that you are dogging it by revving it out of gear. It's probably one of the worst things you can do to an engine besides running it without oil or taking the air filter off. I rip on my 192,000 mile old car daily and take it to redline maybe 5-10 times a week but the engine still purrs (aside from valvetrain ticking) like when it was new.

You need to explain the circumstances more, what speeds, how are you driving it, what throttle, exactly what happens, etc.

well its a 99 accord ex w/177K, (i know its to much but, $3500) iknow not to rev it while in park but it shouldn't do that cuzz i had a accord before, i just told yea'll to explain the problem, it does it while driving any speed even if cold or warm.

and when i'm driving it normal it shifts around 2700-3000 rpm smoothly. when when i want to down shift or pass some one it does the rev thing.
