Title: just won't rev
Post by: stevenwoody on 28 June 2011, 16:56:45

Just given my 3.0 elite a coolant system overhaul as there were several blockages where it has sat for 2 years i have taken off the throttle body etc and have rebuilt it and it runs nice but it just won't rev past 4500 rpm anyone had this before??? its like it hits a rev limiter. im did think crank sensor but this hasn't been touched at all

help

Have you reattached the throttle cable correctly?
Pull it back from it's bracket on the body so that there's no slack in both the outer and inner cable, but not  so tight that it's pulling the spindle open. Refit the clip.

Is the fault light on, if so what codes are stored (knock sensor?)
