Hi i just purchased a s2k im new to this was wondering-

So i started up the car from work and went home. Went out the parking lot on to the road and Rev'd to 6000 rpm and suddenly the car slows down like it was at the rev limit; is it true when the engine is not fully warmed enough you can't rev higher than 6000 rpm?

 

Yes it's true. Let the poor car warm up before mashing the pedal please

 

lol I did the same thing the first few weeks of owning the car...I thought sonmething broke on me already....Now I have a starter or Ill let the car warm up till 3 bars till I drive it past 5700 (vtec in my car)...

 

Haha yea..what a mistake i made...

thanks for the info..will baby the car!!

 

Read the manual. I believe it discusses the cold-engine rev-limiter. Otherwise, you should try to rely on common sense. It's bad for your car to drive it hard before the fluids are not warmed up. Just don't do it. It makes baby Jesus cry.

 

!!!!!!

 

 

Yup, thats what your VTEC Oil Pressure sending unit does for you...the part that I'm missing right now....which is why I'm not driving my car...
