Does these models have ne pre cats?? its a j-spec........ne idea. my car doesnt seem to have a pre cat.......and my dp is glowing red with boiling coolant.......however i did notice that my clamp on the hose of the main coolant filler (not AST) was leaking some coolant.......also y AST hose (one on the top) didnt have ne clamps.......is there a clamp on the top ast hose??
i also went into limp mode......wont let me go past 2500 rpm........can it be becuase of the boiling coolant.......
cheers

 

no pre cats on any jdm models (ever)

 

then y do u guys think my dp is getting red hot?? and my coolant is boiling........please guys........ne idea

 

my dp gets red hot durin startup for about few sec.. normal

 

It's normal for the DP to be hot and for the coolant

 

The series-6 (92-95) was the only version to get the "pre-cat"

Series-7 (96-98) + series-8 (99-02) had better ECU control thus didn't get them.

 

except in japan - where there was no pre-cat - ever

 

normal

 

thanks guys for the reply.......how do i get out of the limp mode?? just reset the ecu??
there was this post on this forum that high engine temps take the car to limp mode or something?? can someone explain that to me
thanks

 

You really need to find out why it was in limp mode (do pre-16bit ecu's even have limp mode?), Resetting it is all well and good - but you definitely need to find the reason. Error codes? I can only suggest you take it to a good mechanic - there obviously seems to be an issue with the car - no one here is giving you a diagnosis as it is pretty much impossible from the limited information you have provided.

 

never heard of it

 

my fd's a 98.......so i guess its got a 16 bit ecu
