Default Can't rev past 4000 rpms in park or neutral?


While sitting in park or neutral and reveving it,she'll bog down and stop at 4000rpm.
Yet when in drive from a stand still(automatic)flooring it, she'll shift at 5500rpm.

Is this normal?

The computer limits your RPMs when out of gear toprevent the engine from being blown up accidentally.
