My 95 wont rev over about 5400....Help!!
Hello all,
I just bought a 1995 993 with 79k miles yesterday. The PPI was perfect with the note that the clutch pedal is a bit low and it may need a clutch sometine soon. That isnt a problem since I plan on pitting in a LW flywheel. Anyway, Since I flew to New Jersey to pick it up and I had to drive back about 600 miles I didnt beat on the car at the test drive. I did driive it but didnt go over 5k. And it runs great. So basically, Im driving back yesterday and had to go around a semi and I had to run it up to get around him (Plus I just wanted to have a little fun) and it wouldnt pull over 5k or so. The car just felt lke bad gas or something. The car has been a garage queen for the last 3 years. Anyway, I ran the car down to 1/2 tank and filled it up and it felt like it was getting better (I mean it would rev a bit higher) but not to redline. Sometimes it would get almost to 5800 but thats it. So I ran that tank out until the light was on and filled it up again for the last 100 miles of the trip (Right at Mid Ohio actually
and it still wont go to redline. I got home at midnight and I love the car but I just need to figure this out!!! Help! PS, I did do a search. THanks!!! Mark

I went down to 3rd, I stopped for gas and started out in first to second to 3rd ect. It pulls fairly strong but not like it should. ..

Very nice-looking car! No specific ideas on a solution except to check and replace ignition components (caps, rotors, plugs, check wires, check your dual distributor drive) and call the shop that did the PPI and ask them WTF.

It may be the DME has been re-chipped . If that software is not done properly the DME will back off to 6000 rev limit to save the motor .
Might be worth checking that situation out ?

Sorry , I forgot to mention the few minutes delay after start up before 6000rpm limit .
Yes it is checksum error in the DME software . It all became known in 95 !
The resonance flap will not limit the rpm , though it has an effect on measured bhp !
