Strange engine problem
I have a cordoba 2.0 16v sx and if I drive it fast it will have no probs going to redline in 1st and 2cnd but when in 3erd 4th and 5ith it will only go to 5 and a half thousand rpm.it feels like a limiter had kicked in lol. has anybody got any ideas on what's wrong
I did try the cordoba sec but I have had no answers on it.

has the dizzy been changed atall recently? sometimes people stick en back on and not get them timed correctlty, so it therefroe restricts it?

I have no idea at all about.I have only had the car about 2 weeks and I know the past two owners haven't changed it.how do u time them bck in?

engines dont like being red lined...

maybe you have broken it....

injectors maybe clocked up?

Lol I know that I don't always redline it lol it just doesn't go past 5 and a half thousand rpm wich isn't right.I just want it to be right
