like I start my car, it idles at 2k rpms then when i go I cant go above 5k rpms on every gear....btw i drive a 89 crx Si..i was thinkn about messing with the idle screw?...please give my suggestions..

did someone throw an hf computer in it???? while your down there checking the computer see if there are any codes in it...... . . .having a code that puts the ecu into limp in mode will cause this.... is your fuel filter fresh, what about air filter plugs and wires.. . . . . . .check all the basic tune up items and then start from there....

welcome to the community, you should introduce yourself in the Lounge section.

as for yuor problem, it seems like a timing issue to me. Check to see if your timing marks line up.

 

[toxiclows]

yeah.... . . .true that.... . . did you or someone else just put a timing belt or water pump on it.. . . . . that would do it too. . ..

I would think that timing would only make it run like crap, not stop it from reving.

 

[Tiersin]

it wouldnt die right away, it would kind of fade off, the timing would have to be WAY off though.

ok its idle is at 600 rpms and it still wont go over 5k...wen i rev it to 5k it start to die out on me -.-

Try some fuel inj cleaner. Is there any other signs that something else is wrong (oil light comes on or something)? You might want to try running some Seafoam though the engine. You could put it in you fuel as well and use it as the fuel inj cleaner. Did you check the timing? What have you done to try to fix the problem?

 

[Krix]

what engine code does your engine have on the block?

 

[PHATpinoy]

I did the basic tune ups... not the timing yet..we got delayed today

 

[PHATpinoy]

ok fixed the idle for sure this time its down to 600 steady.

are you asking about the block code? or error code?
the block code is d15b6, no error codes.
