WOT Issue, Rev. Limiter??
Hey All,
Does anyone else have this issue???/ When going WOT, it sounds like my Mustang has a Rev Limiter on it. It's kinda embarassing when I'm "showing off/up" a Honda with a big tailpipe and I floor it and it sounds like a rev limiter is on there instead of a solid WOT sound.
Could this be the coil packs?
Any ideas???

RE: WOT Issue, Rev. Limiter??
It only happens when I'm stepping onit pretty good. I haven't looked at the tach when it's happening. My guess would be up high, so I could be hitting the rev. limiter then. I'm not going to lie, I like to make my Mustang go fast. I'll rub it with a diaper all day long, but I drive it like I stole it. I never understood the people who buy a Dodge Viper and keep it under 50 all the time. Now, there car will most likely last for 50 years where mine will last for 30. I enjoy my car that's all.
As far as answering your question....I'll look at the tach when I get off work later today, and see if it's way up high. Do you know where the rev limiter would start, I would guess up at the top.

LMAO! I just had this problem with mine. Feels like the car is runnin outta power, right? but when u let off the gas it will climb again?
My issue wound up bein from a kinda loose coil pack. The bolt holding it in got ****ed up and cross threaded, so it wouldnt go in all the way, so i used washers to tighten it. Replaced the washers this morning, took the car for a half hour drive, didnt **** up once.

Thanks for the info all. My Mustang is an auto with a shift kit. The coil packs all seem to be pretty loose. I thought that was just how they were. I'll double check them this evening.
Ahh, MVR, I'm sorry I can't seem to read your post, I can't seem to take my eyes off of your avatar. WOW.
