Engine Will Not Rev Up

Recommended Posts

Twm205

When I rev up my car the rev gauge goes to the the red and it starts to misfire. Does the engine think that is overreving because of the gauge? Or not. the engine definitely does not rev as high as it should because of the misfair. Thanks.

Misfire at high rpm is often caused by a faulty ignition amp. Does it misfire under load?

No but the engine is only half revving and the rev gauge is showing full rpm and sounds like its hitting the limiter at only half throttle

Could this be related to your dizzy wire problem? How did you overcome that?
