    98 Accord hits top end at 4000rpm

    We ran the race on the 31st. First was my wifes race(75 laps on a 1/4 mile paved oval). She started 10th and finished 5th. She had no problems with the car. Next was my race, 150 laps. The car ran fine... until lap 75. At 75 the car wouldnt go over 4000 rpm again. I shifted to 3rd gear(normally...

    Thanks for all the replies. What is a stand alone unit? You are onto something here. How do I convert to an OBD1? This is an enduro car I paid 200 dollars for. I seemed to run good until I took it to the track. We have raced locally in a 4cyl class with good results. Now we are looking to...

    The tweeking of the ECU is one of my questions. How or can I disable the CEL? Can I hot wire the VTEC to a toggle switch,and flip it when in race mode? Battery conections are good. Im checking the plug wires today.

    Yah it was on Craigslist. My wife and I have practiced at the Dell with a 94 Prelude. We raced at the Dells about 8 tears ago in a Pure Stock. I have a O2 sensor because until I get it to perform to my expectasions Im leaving the basics. John

    I dont think any wiring was alterd. What is the VSS and where on the trans is it? The a/c is removed as well as the center dash(radio, heater controlls etc.) All being unpluged John

    Forgot to mention can I hotwire the vtec to a switch, so its hot while racing? John P.S. Its a 5-speed. Does that matter?

    Thanks, I will change the oil. Is there a way to disable the check engine light? We use this for racing but it is a stock engine, its disposable or rebuildable. We just need to finish the race. John

    98 Accord hits top end at 4000rpm

    I got a 98 Accord with a 2.3 vtec. I race it in 150-200 lap enduro races. My problem is that after it gets up to operating temp it seems like it hits the rev limiter at 4000 rpm. I have changed the Dist. but it still does it. I thought it was a low oil pressure issue but I just had it idling...
