Reving problem

[badinfluenceRS]

I just installed MSD coilpacks, K&N Cold Air Intake, and a 180* thermostat on a 96 camaro 3800...

It runs fine, and revs fine, but once I get to about 4000rpms it stops reving, putters and dies down (doesn't stall just wont rev any higher)

any ideas please?

Re: Reving problem

just feed your cat some meow mix and it should clean that thing right out

As I was told there is a rev-limiter on the 3800.

Re: Reving problem

yea, it must have a rev limiter in park and neutral, but i took it for a spin and got'er up to 5k

Re: Reving problem

bring the rev limiter up a few thousand RPM.. it'll race right up to 6,000RPM so fast you'll think it WANTS to blow itself up.

how do I do that...cause in neutral it only revs to about 3800rpms

Re: Reving problem

Why would you want to raise your netural rev limiter? Why even rev in netural?

Re: Reving problem

i dunno...it just bugs me when it limits and craps out

i'll prob end up getting a tuner someday anyways

Re: Reving problem

You know, revving your engine isn't all that great for it. I would advise you don't worry about it anymore and quit revving it whenever you feel the urge.
