Car Forum / Ford / Ford Mustang / May 2006Rev Limiter?
Is there a rev limiter on my 6-cylinder 2000 Mustang? When revving the engine, it seems to artificially stumble right around 4000 RPM, and won't rev any higher. Since redline is quite a bit higher (5000? I'm working from memory here) there seems to be some sort of a limiter at work. Assuming there IS a limiter, is there any way to over-ride it? And if there's not a limiter, what is causing my engine to stumble? Thanks!

There is also a speed limiter that drops cylinders before you pass the speed rating of the stock tires. Yes you can over-ride it... > Is there a rev limiter on my 6-cylinder 2000 Mustang? > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Thanks! >> Is there a rev limiter on my 6-cylinder 2000 Mustang? > Yes... there's a rev limiter... it keeps idiots from trying to rev past > 4000 in neutral. Ouch. That hurt! :-) Isn't 4000 RPM kinda low? A rev-limiter being set 25% below redline seems mighty conservative, to me.

That redline is meant for when the engine is under load, and even then, only for short durations (on a street engine).
