    1990 Accord 5 speed wont rev past 5500 RPM

    I am new to the site and searched for this in particualr and could not find a definitive answer:

    My issue is my Accord will not rev past 5500 RPM while taking off and shifting through the gears. Once I hit 5500, I can feel it cut back and it wont go any further no matter how hard I push it....

    ...any ideas on what could be causing this?


    Thanks in advance everybody!

    Do you have a Check Engine Light on? Your ECU may be in limp mode.

      ^^^that would suck. mine isn't and i have a serious problem with mine right now.

      mostly because i shifted too late and F'd it all up. If your stock then you don't want to go past 5500.

        Eh, if it's in limp mode, it doesn't necessarily mean it's a bad thing to fix. The CEL will tell you what's wrong. Chances are, some sensor is bad.

          i guess i am really tedious when something is wrong. This is my first ride without an everlasting CEL and it's starting to get one every now and then.

          but i never noticed a lot of power coming out of anything past around 5200.... made it pointless to redline for me

            no CEL's on this car....I tried to help with it, and got no where....check this fellas....

            ....is it possible that if you put the timing belt on too tight or get it off alignment, then it will do this?

            ...also with a stock 5 speed CB7, is it bad to shift past 5500 RPM, its been so long since I had a stock one I cant remember!!!!!

            Nitrous is like a hot chick with a STD..... you know you wanna hit it, but you are afraid of the consequences.....

            ...Zex wet kit, 65 shot, dual purge, JDM H22...pure sex! .....I owned 8 CB7's in one year...top that JARHEAD...lol

                It's not bad to shift past 5500. Just don't redline it too often. It's best to NOT rev that high, but you can.


                If the cams aren't aligned properly, then yes, I suppose that would possibly cause this.

                  Did you do/had a timing belt change? It may be a tooth off. Check your timing.

                    ^^^^^

                    I will check with him....this may be possible, I know he did have a recent timing belt change!


                    Thanks

                      well... i wouldn't say its the timing belt... i can be off but it won't let it rev past 5500 because all that is set at the ECU. another thing to check if it has a vaccum leak. Also might be the TPS sensor out of adjustment... it won't throw a code if it is.

                          Actually I lost a race against a CRX due to the same issue, for me it was the oxygen sensor not working, after i discovered it the power came back and could rev up to 6300 again so check that out and see if it is the problem.
