    Engine Misses?

    I ran my car the other day hard and before i shifed my car it started to miss at 5700 and the rpms would not go any more. It would just spuder at that rpm and would not go any more. Do you guys know what could be causing this?

    i don't know anything about the fuel injected cars, but that's probably where the rev limiter kicks in.

    No, rev limiter is somewhere around 6500 rpm...what yer experiencing is just common ignition breakdown. Time for a tune-up. Probably need spark plug wires, too. I strongly suggest either Honda or NGK wires....haven't found another brand that makes a half-way decent set of OEM plug wires.

    My car just got a full tune up. Bosch +4, Discount wires, Cap, Rotor, Air filter and, Oil change. The only thing I haven't done yet is the pcv vavle. I'am going to put a new computer in it that might be my problem

    i sincerely doubt the computer is the problem, it rarely is esp for driveability probs. I dont think pcv is the problem either but it would be good to change. Have you changed your fuel filter yet? That might be somthing to check.

    Forgot to say i changed that to . It will rev right to 5800-6000 but will miss very badly at that rpm. I also noticed that when it comes off a high rev and rev it again it will do it againbut sooner . I think it just might be that the injectors aren't get the right amount of fuel.
