1988 2.3turbo wont rev passed 3k September 02, 2015, 09:41:17 AM I have a 84 rx7 with an 88 turbocoupe motor I'm no car expert. I was driving one day(gauge showed running Rich) and suddenly lost power so I geared down and still not enough power to keep going. I figured I ran out of gas because my gas gauge doesn't work, I realized my oil was low so filled it up and filled the gas up and didn't run properly so I had it towed home. Ive tinkered with it but can't find the problem Tested spark changed spark plugs everything is good no vacuum leaks but it won't rev passed 3 grand and sounds like it'shiznitting the rev limiter, and the turbo is still spooling up and making boost Any ideas what it could be Quote Selected
1988 2.3turbo wont rev passed 3k Reply #1 – September 02, 2015, 11:24:11 AM Check it for codes, if erratic ign comes up the PIP or TFI on dist likely has a issue... Otherwise verify it has 39 psi fuel pressure, plus one pound for each pound of boost... Quote Selected
