1500 RPM rev limiter??
My RX is having a problem, and I'm stuck at work. I have a 1990 non-turbo convertible. I drove it to work today, and everything was fine. When I took it out at lunch, I was driving along and power cut out. Since then I have not been able to rev it past 1500-2000 rpm. This means i can't take it on the freeway and get it home.
Anybody have any ideas as to why this could be happening. I'm stranded at work and I need help!!
Thanks in advance.

Is there anything I can do about this situation? Any obvious things I can check out? I don't have my tools with me, but I can get them. I'm trying to avoid having to have someone drive 40 minutes to pick me up.
Thanks again.
Thanks again.

really wierd, my FC, which has a haltech computer, has sorta been doing the same thing, on and off a little... I thought it was something in the haltech tuning, but now I'm wandering if there could be something else doing it? it runs fine otherwise, just feels like its hitting a rev limiter at like 1500 rpm, and backfires sometimes.
at first I thought maybe it was the fuel pump, but there was plenty of pressure in mine...
could be possible for yours though....

Just to bring some closure to this one, I went outside after work and she started right up, I got home with no problems. I'm going to pull the fuel filter just as a precaution.
Hopefully this doesn't happen again, but if it's happening to someone else too (Bigretardhead) maybe someone has encountered it before and fixed the problem. Let me know.
Thanks again to everybody who posted and helped, this board is great!
