Problems with stationary rev limiter

Does anyone else have the problem where the stationary rev limiter (2-step) will randomly just not work? Mine does, i.e the other night i was trying to be a ricer in the parking lot at a local meet and the revs just kept climbing. I wasn't on a level surface but the car was not rolling. Clutch was in. I even tried it with the ebrake engaged.

This is not the first time it has happened. I know another local guy mentioned it has flaked on him before too.

the 2-step seems to have a bunch of condition that you need to meet in order to get it to work.

I have found that if you push the clutch in while you are still rolling it wont work. Even if you come to a complete stop after. My 2-step used to dissapear every once in a while untill I figured this out. Basically just be very methodical about using it. Come to a complete stop, push the clutch in and put the car in neutral, let the clutch out. Then clutch in again and go into gear. Thats what I do now and it always works.

Try what I said from now on and I don't think you'll ever have the problem again.

There is a "no acting like a ricer" condition that must be met before the 2step will engage properly..lol jk I have had this happen to me a few times. I think it happens because my car is rolling slightly. Maybe the parking lot you were in was on an incline?

For me, my logged speed (the speed MUT ID) has to be 0.00 for it to work. Havent really played with it much.
