just wondering wether its normal and wether the 1.6 civic sport 3 dr hatch has a limiter at 4000rpm as when i rev the car in neutral it will not go past 4000 revs at all its only when i start to pick up speed on the road it lets me go over the 4000 revs .

hi
lots of cars do this many makes and models, why are you reving the car on the spot like this anyway
sometimes if you put your foot on the clutch the engine will pass the on the spot rev limit but dont do it petrol engine dont like free load reving at high rpm

Perfectly normal Kelz, no worries

Yes it`s a limiter. Those Jap engineers think of everything

why would u need to rev above 4k while stopped? revving engines not under load can do damage.

 

[nickyboy]

Hence the limiter. I reckon she`s a traffic light GP driver lol

Thats true stug, i wouldnt bother reving the engine too hard in neutral
