91 xr2 wont go above 4k rpm...
« on: June 10, 2020, 04:22:00 AM »

Hello all! I am a new owner, and have already gone through most of the "used car" tune up bits. I basically limped the car home because it ran so horribly. It now starts and runs and boosts and drives like a regular car I'm so excited!!!

But the excitement faded once it tried to drive it like a high revving turbo car... it wont let me go above 4000 rpm. Starts surging like a rev limiter is holding it back. Any gear, any time I accelerate, it stops at 4k. I can drive the car, go thru gears, cruise at 75mph in 5th gear, as long as Im under 4k. Wont go a TICK over 4000 rpms. Runs absolutely perfect otherwise.

I'm being repetitive for dramatic effect. I'd really like to fix this. So after going back through lots of posts i decided my situation is unique because most others have said giving gas pushed the engine past its hesitation but mine does not. It doesnt die... it runs GREAT. it just wont go over 4k.

Any ideas? Thanks ahead of time.
