Celica Forums General Discussion General rev limiter at 6k rpm? help

ok

WTF kinda reply is this?
Stop being a post whore.

To the original poster: I have no idea what's wrong, when you refuel see if the proble still occurs.

well i did refule but it was like 2 miles to gas station and engine warmed up also and it seemed fine so cant figure out which it is thnx though

Most likely cold car, drive it again and see how it is

yea its because engine is cold...thats not good for ur engine to bring it up to that many rpms without warming it up...

cool got it thnx

its a safety featuer, you have to wait till the temp meter is almost halfway up

thnx again i appreciate it

wait for the temp needle to go up 2 bounce, then ur ready to hit lift. engine cold will cut the limits short to 6000rpm. very logic and common so nothing to worry about

why?????
