Well, what happened is i has a leak in my radiatior and my engine overheated, lucky i saw it before it did any damage to it and shut my engine off, i since have fixed the problem, however now my revs wont go over 6.5k period, even if it has been running for ages! I dont know if the rev limiter is faulty, or what coz when im goin about 100 and i have it in auto, i put my foot down and the rev limiter comes on. (bout 6500rpm) Usully i could put foot flat to about 120km....and change gears no prob....this is sooo annoying, if u can help me it would be very much appreciated.

Check your ECU for error codes

i have the same prob too. my car wont go more than 6500 and rattles when it reaches 6500 (with car idle). my head gasket needs to be changed (leaking engine oil), could this be the reason?
