t2 wont rev past 5,200 rpm under load!!
I have a 88 TII and the other day i took my ac out. Every since my car wont go past 5,200 rpm, it just stops. But if im in neutral i can go to 7,000 all i want. The weird thing is that yesterday i tryed WOT and i got it to redline 2 times in a row, but after that it stoped at 5,200 ever since. If anyone has seen this problem before or has any input it would be apreciated, and id like to ad that it isn't fuel cut, it isnt violent at all it just stops reving.
thanks
thanks

wow, I'm completely clueless, I'm guessing here, but it could be the ecu? It could be a lot of things... yuk. I have a similar problem but it's got a pattern to it. whenever I sit somewhere and idle for a while (maybe 10-20 minutes) with the a/c on, it gets bloody hot under the hood (stock temp guage indicates normal temps), and I can't rev it beyond 1500rpm in gear, or 3000 out of gear. It acts just like a rev limiter. we might have similar problems?

if the only part of the intake you left off was the snorkel that wouldn't have any effect on how high it revs. and if you didn't disturb/remove any intercooler hoses/tid there really shouldn't be a boost leak because it would have been leaking before you removed the a/c

Its also not a constint rpm that it stops at. like 1st gear its around 5,000. second its 5,200 and 3rd its like 4,500(havent tryed anyother gears). if that helps at all. Think it could be a ignition coil?

boost leak or your injectors are very dirty and need to be cleaned professionally. I had the same problem in 4th gear at 6500 rpms, and it blew my engine up after the 2nd time due to leaning out.

Yes, I had the same problem. No boost leak until under load/boost and then I couldn't get any power and couldn't get the car to rev even.

Thx everyone for your help. But tonite i was coming home from work and it got to normal temp and i decided to try and boost it, and i redlined. I was like wtf, so i did it again, and 2 more times i got it to redline. but the next time it did the same thing, and i notices that my engine temp got pretty hott. you think by taking off that shroud and intake stuff(except air box) has made the air to hott and my car just not wanting to go past a certin temp??

I have a feeling it has to do with temperature. It could be the temp sensor for the air intake, or something in the ecu that senses oil/coolant/air temperature and puts a rev limit accordingly. It seems odd, but the way it sounds (and acted for me) it's possible.

as posted already it's most likly fuel cut from too much boost..... since you already have an exhaust and just opened up your intake a bit more. just wait a few more days and stick your boost gauge and FCD on when you get it.....
or put your shroud and intake pipe back on and see if it still happens.
and stop making more threads on the same problem.

hmm, it DOES have something to do with heat then..... mazda put some extra underhood heat protection we don't know about, maybe? Well, it feels sure as hell like a fuel cut to me, it lurches as if I let off the gas all of a sudden with the clutch engaged still....
