Default Re: car loses power at high rpms

Has anybody experienced anythng like this? It is very annoying and my neck is getting sore from the sudden power loss haha....oh its an 04 limited 6-speed
Assuming you are not hitting the rev limiter, I would agree with Valkryderguy.

Unless you have had it modified, the engine will cut out completely at 5740 RPMs.
