couple ?'s

ok, i did a swap, changed computers and all, to the manual one, and i kept the same rpm gauge, it redlines at 7000 rpms (auto), so my question is, how are my rpms reading? like if im at 2000, is the ecu reading 2500? or is it right, and can i go past my redline of 7000, to 7500, like manual cars?

next, i have a sputtering, cutting out problem, and around 2000 rpms, my car cuts out bad, like it is not getting gas, backfires when i let off the gas, no smoke really, and the check engine light blinks on, any clues, i have new plugs, wires, checked my coil packs, good, vacuum hoses, any ideas, im about to go crazy here, thanks

I can't think of anything on the cutout. The tach should read the same, it's just labled wrong now (re redline). The auto redline was actually for the torque converter. They can't handle high rpm (which is also why the new RX-8 auto has much lower power than the manual - you can't get into the "meat" of the power band because the torque converter would explode - or something).
