why your Honda won't rev past 3000 rpm and stutters

[jakemiller]

Thank you sir! I checked my oil and it was low, dumped some in and problem solved! My car didnt have any check engine light before or after nor any warning indicator, but the stuttering went away after oil was added.

The RD4 that I use to drive in high school used to do this occasionally. Found out that it was a simple fix, but the fix was temporary. This is essentially a VTEC malfunction/disabled code. VTEC works by a rod in the valve rockers which locks the rockers in place via high pressure oil solenoid. When you run low on oil, the solenoid won't be able to bring enough oil into the valvetrain to activate the VTEC, hence the rev limiter set to 3k. Try changing the oil and clearing the code and see if that works. If it doesn't, the solenoid might be bad

Dude your video saved me..was replacing VVT solenoid which required me to take cable cover off etc ..put everything back and my car wouldn’t go past 3k rpm’s…watched your video and turns out I didn’t connect MAF 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️ plugged that baby back in and floored it close to 5k rpm’s lmfao you’re the man

[funnypeterquill]

Now I know the reason. I need to have my Honda scanned. Thanks

[rudyramirez]

Great info my check engine light just came on and I was worried about that I thought it was my transmission. Thanks for the information buddy

[anthonysanchez]

Wow dude thank you. Everyone was looking at me crazy when I tried explaining this. Told me it was a vtec issue but I realized I started getting the issue once I got the code for a knock sensor, can a bad knock sensor on a 07 accord be causing the for the lack of better words “WOMP WOMPP”

[robertkaranja]

Thanks....i did got diagnostics done, and there were no errors.. just one ECT which i dont think is related,

[juanfigueroa]

THANK YOU! YOU WERE RIGHT! for me it was my vvt for 2007 civic

It might be the check engine light when it comes on then it might rev at 3k for safety an example if your engine block is worn out then the check engine lights comes on then it revs at 3k to likely prevent more damage to the engine

[jasonlockett]

It was my camshaft sensor thanks for the vid

[buzrock]

Thanks a million man, your information ease my worries.

[thefinaldispatch]

My Murano has been doing this for years but at 4000rpm. Time to fix this baby!

[clintho]

Perfect solution to my situation! Thank you so much for making this video.😊

[stinkmaster]

Thank you bro this happened today I was on the highway and shifted into 4th lost a lot of power got off and it would not let me pass 3000

[omar]

Probably it is the mass flow sensor either need to be replaced, plugged, or cleaned

[isaackish]

had this issue so many times, it's your oil pressure sensor/oil pressure solenoid

[kxngxcole]

For my situation my car needed more oil I got a 4 cylinder accord and for some reason I have to put 7-8 quarts for oil to show on the stick.

[hajikarbala]

When you going and suddenly your engine is swapped with a bridge ported rotary

[brooklyn]

Well when that happens to me it was kuz a axle seal was ripped and I fixed it it don't do that no more anybody else could be idle air control or sensor with the air ratio or like what I just mentioned

[Aadipandey]

One local tech said it’s a ECM Issue you need to change do I trust that guy. All of sudden I am facing same it’s not going over 3k starting blam balm blam… 😂
