    Default 4AGE/7AGE early rev-limiter and no power

    Car - Ae86

    motor - 7AGE/4AGE

    use - bakes

    problem - no bakes

    occurs/started when - yesterday

    personal situation - sexually attracted to fire/buildings

    Hi guys,

    I'm having a small drama with my engine. At the end of the last track-day i had a VERY minor power loss at around 6500-7000 revs, didnt think much of it (thought fuel surge)

    My car now starts to shit itself/not climb in revs past about 3500, and if it DOES, it hits a pretty fast rev-limiter type thingo.

    Driving around normally however it's fine. Just whenever you load it up.

    What have i broken.

    Thanks
    Robo

    what ecu are you running with it?

    if its a standard 4age one, hook up a check engine light and run the diagnostic.

    sounds like its in limp mode to me. which suggests a dead sensor, either map or tps would be my guess.

    his being jdm, would/should have a working check engine light. If it were a limp mode issue it would come up while driving.

    after a bit of googling, it reckons 02 sensor could be causing it

    Yep we got number 5 (which some sites said doesnt exist!!!) and number 9 (speed sensor .. has never worked)

    More googling says "5" is 02 sensor

    it wont be the 02 sensor bro.

    sounds more like a bad fuel pump or a blockage.

    check the fuel pressure.

    as in, the 02 sensor can and often is registering a fault. but. it wont have a profound effect on your engines running like youre experiencing.

    should run fine with no o2 sensor..

    as slydar said.. check fuel filter, fuel pressure (while driving and revving under load) and fuel pump valtages while running..
    couldve run dry a couple of times at your track day and started to kill it..

    give it a full load rev when nearly stone cold and see if it cuts out worse than when its hot.. this would indicate possible fuel supply issues
