that f**kin 5000rpm rev limiter is sh!t!!

Give it a good service first thing to do with an ebay car , new plugs/filters/oil and a battery/coil test  and clean the throttle body then see if it is still causing you problems.

My 8v limiter is at 6000.

Hope it doesn't snow you won't be able to find your car..

Take ya time with the car, the more you get frustrated the less your going to better the car. Chill man.
