takes 5 mins..check it out

 

i'll be sure to check it out... in the mean time i'm looking for a new fuel pump... bummer.

 

check ur tranny fluid. wut color is it????? And r u sure ur pulling that high or it feels like it. i just bought a 94 stock w/ 90k miles on it 2 months ago and was befuddled when my engine revved to 6500-7000 rpms. Sure enough the fluid was brown and im sure its never been changed. I also took the tranny to the shop and the owner told me nothing was wrong with it that it was a regular piece of **** electronic tranny that goes on bec of ur tps telling it to. so who knows but i personally think its a 94 thing.....we have problems. first year with that damn tranny.

 

A stock car cannot rev to past ~5800 rpm, the computer will not let it.

 

hahaha, yes it will...mine does. trust me it happens, and my car is bone dry stock fans going off at 235 and everything.

 

LOL, I never noticed it before until a few days ago........I've had the car for about a month now ('94 Z28 A4) and a couple days ago I was playing around and goin' up and down this straight piece of road we have around here that me and my friends use for races........from a stop and just flooring the throttle.....my tach went up to about 5800, right inside where the red dotted lines start......I was panicking but I guess it's nothing out of the ordinary.....I didn't realize the shift from 1st to 2nd came at that high of RPMs with a wide open throttle.

I guess that's just how it is!

 

but Gt killer u would say it went past 5800 right??

 

The engine speed is limited by the PCM. Your PCM sees a different reading than your tach, maybe your tach is way way off. I find it suprising that its that far off though.

My tach reads about 200 rpm slow, so i would say 6000 -6100 would be normal. But 6700 rpm is way out of whack.

 

no, no. this is not the only lt1 i drive and im definately getting way past 5800 rpms.

 

I don't think so.......it never made it into the solid red line. It was right about at 5800.

Because when I asked a few days ago in this forum at what point does the A4 tranny shift from 1st to 2nd, I was told 5500-5800 (i think, you can try to find that thread if you want) so that was that.

Now that others are saying it, I'm sure that it's correct. I really don't think I went past the middle of the segment of dotted red lines when I was running open throttle.

 

then wuts the problem killer ur car shifts perfect. lol. ive got the retarded one going at 6300 rpms on a good day.

 

I wouldn't say that there's anything deathly wrong with your engine or anything........it's just something with your tach I would assume.

But this is with a wide open throttle?

 

yes its wide open throttle, and the tach works fine.

 

Hmm.....well, I don't know what to tell you. As long as the engine seems to be alright and you don't notice anything funny about it, I'd say you're probably ok.

 

You tach must be way out of calibration. I didnt think they got that far out but they must since a few people have posted saying so.

Actual rpm is probably normal, you are just getting a false reading on the tach.
