Stock Governer?

[Lil Blue Beast]

I was wondering if there was any way to shut off the stock governer/fuel shut off? If im driving it will hit 4500 rpms or so and stop, it just wont rev any farther, but if im power braking it it will hit 6500 rpms easy, whats the deal and is there a way to fix it?

Your problem does not sound like one that is a rev limiter problem. My guess is that you have either an ignition problem (weak ignition) or a vac problem (you've got a leak somewhere). Either one of those things can potentially cause a problem where the engine will hit what feels like the rev limiter wall. I would recommend that you go over those things and see if you can find anything out of place. Are you running a forced induction?

i think the rev limiter on the 5.0's was like 5500? i could be wrong there, but i know i can hit 4500 easy.

6200... but close.

 

[BrutalStang]

ah, 6200 even better.

i heard it was 6250.

6250 is fuel cut-off, so it only will fire 7 cylinders... so it acts like a rpm limiter

i didn't know I had one, guess thats because i am not a ricer revving to it, seeing if i can chirp the next gear

Are you serious??? You've downshifted and let your rms go up to 6500???? That is not good my friend. You're not driving an S2000 here with a 9k red line. I feel bad for your engine. Ouch

If u read what he wrote it doesnt say anything about downshifting and it goin to 6500.. he said it does it when he power breaking it. Sorry if i sounds like im being an azzhole.

 

[RacEoHolic330]

powerbraking is the same as downshifting. You're letting then engine slow the car down.

 

[Daggar]

Power braking is stepping on the brake and gas at the same time to smoke the rear wheels.

 

[RacEoHolic330]

oh, I've heard that term used when referring to downshifting, nvm then.
