Alright so I decided to drift out my fully stock 2004 mustang today. Since i cant do the kick clutch method I just burn out and i can start drifting. But anyways after I was done I now cant rev passed 4k rpm even when in neutral i step on the gas and i cant rev passed 4k rpm. The engine temp was in the middle so I have no clue why it was doing it. Any ideas? Is there a safety mechanism of some sort?
And is it a bad idea to drift my stang?

 

not necesarily bad if you dont mind wasting your tires just stupid.

 

i believe you answered your own question

 

^^^^See what doing totally stupid and pointless things do. Honestly dude, I have no idea, because there are so many things that you could of just screwed up, it's not even funny. If the problem persist, take it to a shop and have them run an ecu diagnostic to see if it's just a bad sensor or fuse, if not, then congratulations, you just bought yourself either a new tranny, rear end, or something else. Not trying to be an A hole or anything, but doing such pointless things is just beyond me.

+lol

 

If your mustang is stock, your not suppose to rev past 4000 in neutral anyway. The computer automatically shuts off the fuel.

 

Umm............... rev limitator on the V6 is 5500 or 6000 rpms can't remember which.

 

5800

5300 for single ports

 

Well at least I was in the range. It's 6500 RPMS for GTs, trust me, I've pegged the rev limitator.[8D]
