car just seems to pause at 4500 rpm
« on: 05 September 2006, 14:58 »
hi all, well my car is off in to the garage tonight to get the gearbox sorted but i also have another problem and i have no idea what is causing it! when you put your foot down hard the car gets to about 4500rmp and then sounds like it is miss firing and it wont rev any further! i have changed the coil, dizzi cap and rotor arm! what the hell could it be, it runs fine at all other times just when you boot it.  :undecided:

defo is not normal, at 3500 you're not even at peak torque!  Peak BHP is around 5400ish.
Theres a redline on your rev counter for a reason ;)

My engine sounds like I'm thrashing the guts out of it if I go past 3500! Didn't know you were supposed to use the red bit?!

You shouldn't go into the red zone, theres no power there anywhere.  But just before it is fine!  If you think 3500+ revs sounds bad dont bother buying a 16v, and stay well away from a honda :grin:

Where does the redline start? I thought it was about 6.25k  :huh:

5.5 - 6k shouldn't be a problem for your engines!
