i test out my car by reving it today and it was at 5.5 rpm and then it just jump right all the way to redline so i stop for a moment and did it again then this time the rev didnt stay a 5 rpm it just went straight to redline and i can hear a metal sound like something loose with the sound of the car like a high metal grinding not loud but notice able since the rev limiter not working and then my ASC light goes on and show service required when it at redline....i turn off the car and everything went away rev it again same old story and my rev limiter seem to be not working this is the first time this has ever happen to me so i dont know much on that part so any input would help thank you

 

Did you have the car tuned? Are you running the stock ecu flash from Mitsubishi?

 

everything all stock no flash

 

neutral no clutch?
neutral clutch?
In gear clutch?

 

first one and third one not the second one

 

It is abnormal. That said, I would not worry about it. Use the [logical] rev limiter in your head. My car has seen 7900rpm in third at load with no ill effects.

 

Holy crap that was hard to read. I read it three times and I still don't think I understand what happened.

Sounds like you're going to have to get it into the dealer to see what it's up to. Be sure to have your story straight, though, as it seems like they might be likely to deny warranty work for over-revving the engine in this case.

Good luck.

 

yea that wat i was thinking too but i forgot to say that all rev was from a stand still... at driving is normal but stand still the light come on saying my asc is off and service required come on

 

yea it funny when i rev where the limiter stop it at 5k rpm it stay for like 3-4 sec till it just jump to redline fast and then the limiter doesnt stop it no more it like i dont have a rev limiter in my car nomore

 

OK, take it in and mention the ASC light issue, but leave the rev limiter part out. They should be able to fix it up in no time.

 

it turn off when i shut the car off and doesnt come on at all when the car turn on only when i rev and hit redline but my rev limiter not working

if i decided to get a tuned/flash later would it stop all this problem and would my rev limiter come back?

 

ok my rev limiter seem to be working now when i step down on the clutch good sign but it just that sound when being rev that make it sound like something wrong"high metal like sound like something loose/or grinding sound" when rev past 5k rpm anyone notice that on your X?

 

are you typing from your pda or cell phone is that why it is so hard for you to type coherent sentences??????

 

I assume you have an MR ??

Its normal .. if it doesn't catch the 1st time .. it'll never catch .. check out my post on launching the MR ..

you'll hover at 5200-5500rpms and then it shoots to the moon ..

To reset .. take out the power to the ECU
You only have 1 launch hahaha



j/k

Oh yes .. for the rattling noise .. does it sound like this ??



sorry you gotta listen carefully .. it's on about after 2-3sec until I shifted then it's gone..

 

i have a GSR but i kinda could hear it in the video like 3-4 sec into it but yea that is the sound i was mentioning about...
