early rev limiter with weak vtec
Hello. I posted before because of the map sensor symptoms, however that doesn't seem to be the case...
The symptoms included:
-weak vtec... the engine struggles past the vtec point.
-early rev limiter... the engine struggles until it hits 8600~8800 rpm, hesitates then drops down even with the gas pedal at WOT.
A few hours ago, I installed the new map sensor and zip-tie from HardTopGuy and disconnected the battery to reset the ecu. After, I took the car on a 30 minute 'spirited' driving just to see if the problem has been solved however the symptoms remain. Engine has been warmed up to 3 bars, oil at high level and CEL was not on. Woe is me... don't know what is up with the car.
I am thinking perhaps it's a slipping clutch.
Anyone would like to chime in?
