Doesnt the soarer need a signal from a presure sensor from the traction contol pump, they spit code 12 dont they? they only rev to 2500 or somthing

Re: V8 Soarer Won't rev past 3800RPM
is the car std or is the engine in another car
ive had afew jobs where they have a rev limit of exactly 2500
this is cause its in limp mode
Re: V8 Soarer Won't rev past 3800RPM
is your speedo working and / or has anyone tried to bypass the 180km speed limiter?. I have heard of some jap cars having a secondary safety to stop people getting around the speed limiter by disconecting the speedo. IE they will not rev harder than top gear revs at 180km. in any gear . also check park nuetral switch for same reason .
Is it posible that your speedo has been "flicked" and damaged as a result, making the ECU think that it is not connected? and going into the above mentioned "safety mode".
Re: V8 Soarer Won't rev past 3800RPM
check there isn't a sensor unplugged somewhere, never worked with these engines, but sometimes if it missing a signal from a certain sensor it'll go into limp home mode, in this case, won't allow you to rev it, usually most other probs will surface everywhere, not allow a good idle etc.
*edit* sorry norbie, jus read you'd already posted this up!

Re: V8 Soarer Won't rev past 3800RPM
Have you found the problem with the soarer yet?
Re: V8 Soarer Won't rev past 3800RPM
Nope haven't found the problem. Diag mode didn't show up anything
How do i check if the timing is locked?
the car is a bog stock soarer, its only got an orginal 60000kms verfied (looks absolutely new underneath - its quite amazing) there is nothing done to this car.
Re: V8 Soarer Won't rev past 3800RPM
I would suggest that if the car is in good condition and you cant find the problem take it to your local toyota/lexus dealer to be checked out.
They were sold here as a lexus and they should be able to identify the issue without too much trouble.

Re: V8 Soarer Won't rev past 3800RPM
Yeah Money is the Problem there. I've had problems like this before, there has goto be a simple explanation for it. I'll keep looking
I'm guessing with the timing lock, to test just put a timing light on it and see if it advances etc
If the timing lock is on, what is the cause and how have people fixed it
Re: V8 Soarer Won't rev past 3800RPM
money is always a problem with import cars
if u cant afford them just buy an aussie shitter hehehe

Re: V8 Soarer Won't rev past 3800RPM
Its something with the ECU cutting something out. I think i might do a bit of research on the USA forums
Re: V8 Soarer Won't rev past 3800RPM
aftermarket rev limit!?!??! :/
this is weird as all hell.
dude, just take it into a dealer, for MAX $100 they should be able to take a look and tell you whats going on.

Re: V8 Soarer Won't rev past 3800RPM
100 bucks hehehe that will be the day
the dealer will just plug a scanner in and see what happens
