Default anyone get engine/RPM lock?

ok. I was driving this morning.
I was in 1st and reved it and all of sudden, I get locked up around 7000.
So I was like WTF? So I changed to 2nd and reved again, it does the same thing again!!!!!!

At this point, I didn't even try on 3rd and above.
I parked and reved to see if it would happen in neutral, it doesn't

What do u guys think??? Please help!!!!!

Thanks in advance!!!!!

Your engine needs to warm up to at least three bars. Thier is no problem with your car. The problem is that no one likes to use the site search engine. A quick search would have found this. https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?act=S...dpost&p=2517659

Try waking up at 3AM and running up 4 flights of stairs real quick.

That's what you are asking your car to do.

It called a proper warm-up.
