Car rpm dont go up more than 3k!! So my 2004 civic canadian si or American EX doesnt pick its speed after 140km/h .. my car is perfectly fine till 140 but as soon as i hit 140 the speed just wont go up .. my rpm will go to 4k and it will drop back to 3k itself even if im flooring the gas pedal http://images.ibsrv.net/ibsrv/res/sr...es/emcrook.gif.. i will only pickup 5km/h from 140 if i keep the pedal on the floor for about 15 seconds... does it sound like the car has speed limiter to you guys ? |
Re: Car rpm dont go up more than 3k!! and oh i just had my spark plugs and air filter replaced ... |
Re: Car rpm dont go up more than 3k!! Do you have a CEL? Have you checked your oil level lately and made sure it's where it needs to be? It sounds like you have a VTEC issue of some sort, but looking at the oil level and making sure it's full would be your first and easiest step. Low oil level and oil pressure will not allow the VTEC to operate properly and will put the car in "limp mode". |

So....what's the speed limit there? |
Re: Car rpm dont go up more than 3k!! If you accelerate from a dead stop, gas pedal flat on the floor: Does the engine run out of "oomph" at 4000 RPM......... or does it pull strong all the way up to redline and then shift? Does it still pull strong if you floor it and let it shift at redline through all the gears? |

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. Almost 87 mph. Wow. |

Yes oil level. Did you change your engine oil or did someone do it for you? If you didn't do it you should check the level. |

i dont get clear picture of what ur saying .. what oo mph ? i never tried pedaling gas pedal to the floor from start but i have no problem in car picking speed from 0-140 .. its only after 140 it struggles .. and my gear shifting seems fine to me .. al gears change at about 3k rpm ... I thought you were having problems getting it over 4K in any gear, but I was obviously mistaken. |

Maybe that's all the power your car can put out. Maybe the engine is just worn out. There's no govenor on these vehicles unless somebody else put it there AFAIK. I thought you were having problems getting it over 4K in any gear, but I was obviously mistaken. |

How that possible.. the cars stock limit is 200 .. and my engine has only 156k kilometers on it .. and i dont know its automiatic so ofcourse the car shifts its gear before i hit 4k rpm |

So are you saying in every gear when you floor the pedal from a stop that the engine always shifts at or below 4k rpm? |

my engine shifts right at 3k rpm to next gear ... and at last gear my rpm goes up high till 4k but they dont stay there and they drop back to 3k even if i dont lift my foot off the pedal.. hence my speed stays at 140 |

and oh my car shifts at 3k rpm if i pedal normaly.. if i pedal it hard the revs can go up to 3.5 before shifting to new gear .. but yah never over 4k its automiatic so ofcourse the car shifts its gear before i hit 4k rpm.. Don't be a Sally. MAN UP and mash that damned pedal like you mean it. Let's see if it is broke..... Pull all the floor mats out from under the gas pedal so the pedal can really hit the floor. FLOOR IT FROM A DEAD STOP. KEEP IT FLOORED until you hit top speed. What RPM did it shift at? Did it reach redline? If not, what did it do? |
Re: Car rpm dont go up more than 3k!! what oo mph ? http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/oomph http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=oomph Damn kids. |

i dont know how to floor it from zero lol for that i need a big empty street where there are no cops lol All I want to know is the MAX RPM it will shift at. Gas pedal on the floor until it shifts. That's only gonna be like 50kmh(?) when it shifts out of first gear. You found someplace on the highway to go 140kmh, you can figure out where to do this. I didn't think this was that tough to figure out. |

Re: Car rpm dont go up more than 3k!! Ok so ya last nite i was going on highway and instead of boosting my car from beginning i tried picking speed from 90 and i pressed my pedal all the way in .. the car flew like rocket and rpms went up high till redline :S .. which is pretty weird because if i try to pickup slowly instead of jus going crazy on rev the car doesnt do anything and speed doesnt go up |
Re: Car rpm dont go up more than 3k!! I think your car is fine. Its a Civic, not a rocket ship. |
