Get it plugged in at vaux. Maybe in limp mode so may need resetting?? Could be wrong.

You haven't told us what car or engine it is. If it is a diesel then it is spot on!

I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

I bet its an x14xe ECU.

My mates had the same problem as yours after getting a new ECU, his was an x16xe too. Hitting the limiter at 5k.

And that was fitted by Vauxhall

using a 1.4 ecu makes no difference im using one on my 1.6 and the rev limiter is normal and the speed is that of a standard 1.6
