After that, I will begin checking the rest of the ignition out to see if I can come up with anything.   Scott W.

There was also another switch that was the "low speed" rev limiter and with that switch on the max rev limiter was lowered by another 1000 rpm. I first didn't realize this and set my max rev limiter to 6000 (red line was 5500 on my sohc) but had that switch on so my msd started cutting out at 5000 rpm. Don't know if this will give you any insight but since i have no knowledge of that specific model that's all i can think of.   Neil -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Frank Sent: Monday, April 29, 2002 6:09 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [SPOC] Service Engine Soon I have the programmable DIS 2 in my car, and still having problems with.  I had a friend watch the readouts on my laptop, and even on shifts where you press the clutch just far enough to shift, the rev limiter indicator still came on.   Kevin --- On Mon 04/29, Scott W. Thomas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hey Neil, I recently installed the same plugs in the car; they are only 3 days old at most. The MSD 8.5 wires are supposed to have the lowest resistance of any wires, so I am hoping that it isn't in the wires. I will take a look at the plugs tomorrow and see if I can find anything. I guess I should also take a look at the settings on the unit to see if I have something set wrong. Now that I think about it though, I wonder if the two-step limiter is causing a problem when I shift. Since the limiter is connected to my clutch pedal, it is possible that when I am shifting at the upper RPM's that maybe the limiter is kicking in when the pedal is depressed and the MSD is dropping spark...something to look into anyways.
