ok its 1:00 am and i was going to discon the bat. but it hasnt been messed with so its still tight like a virgin on prom night. so i tried to undo the damn bold and nut but it was too damn hard and might have stripped its too late to mess i with now so il put it off till tomorow

 

well i reset my ecu but i have not been on the highway yet i love the whole first gear of a stop my first gear goes all the way to the 6.5 rpm so thats a good long one, im hopping now i can easily get past 80 again, ill keep u posted

 

ok i got passed 80 but after 80 its slow as hell, normal? it takes long as hell to accelerate. but yeah everythang is good exept that i dont like how my gears are shifting, first is good all the way up to 6.5 rpm the rest pretty much suck

 

Slow after 80 I suppose depends on mods dude. My car is slow after 110 now. But, it isn't as slow as it was stock thats for sure.

 

do you have aftermarket guages...cause the needle could just be getting stuck there...that happened to me in my neon

 

nope i dont have any after market gauges stock O-Z gauges. and before i mean it was quick after 80mph but now since reset of ECU i get a long first gear and then shorts after that....any suggestions?


ps ..hasha stop rubbing ur breasts...they only get bigger!! ha ha

 

sounds like the rev limitter is kicking in. kinda of like going to redline it shuts off. why it is happening speed based and not RPM based i have no idea.

 

ive gone 80 + and i dont think there is a speed limiter. but there is defintly a rev limiter.

 

are you an auto? i assume so. there could be a speed sensor off or something like that cause it sounds like your tranny is what is wrong here. TAKE IT TO A DEALER and have then scan it with their scan tool. it may pull something up.

 

Why in gods name would resetting the ECU fix this problem? It doesn't use a microsoft operating system. Maybe the A/T processor is messed-up but the ECU is constantly reaading and learning to adjust the fuel maps, nothing else.

 

well i know that its the ecu that governs my speeds so i reset it and now i can go over 80 it wont just stop there...but it does take a long as time to gain on mph ...now im thinking of getting a fuel management system.

 

its probably just the driving conditions you had. probably the car or you shifted at a low rpm throughout the gears so there wasnt much left when you got to that point. i mean some days, i'll hit 125, and others ill only hit 85. like one morning to SAT's i hit 120 on accident on the freeway half asleep, then driving home from the mall with 5 people i only hit 78mph. really just depends on the driving conditions i think..
