Xandaril Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Ok, so I decided to wash my car today. About an hour later I got in my car and found out that for whatever reason I cant rev past 2k. It acts like its regulating it there. I cant figure out why it is doing this. I doubt that I got water in a cylinder. And the only other thing I can think of is that I shorted my ECU or something else. Would anybody mind helping me figure this out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xandaril Posted October 25, 2009 Author Share Posted October 25, 2009 Ok, well I got it figured out. I just checked all the electrical connections and dried em out with the help of a compressor and now she runs just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiwi303 Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 which ones did you dry out? From reading on here, if you have that problem, try cleaning and drying the airflow meter box, it's switch contact type, "closed/open/WOT" IIRC, rather than later Potentimeter rheostat types. A wetting and resultant short can apparently cause it to read "closed" at all times even when the throttle is right open, which will cause a low RPM count. I guess if the ECU thinks the trottle is closed, it's not going to authorise a lot of gas out the injectors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
