I bought a REV3 for scrap money with a few known issues. Most have been resolved, but the main one I could do with some advice on. Basically the car starts OK and runs, but refuses to rev past 3500. Once you hit that, it feels exactly like you are bouncing off the rev limiter and the spark is being staggered, bang on 3500. Does it in neutral and in gear.The person who owned the car previously had tried to resolve this by replacing the ignitor and I believe ECU but with no luck.
Interestingly, after driving the car home it refused to start properly on the drive, it would start up then immediately die. Suspecting fuel starvation I bridged FP and B+ and the car then ran as before. Looked at it again yesterday and now starts and runs without them bridged. The engine management light is on, but following the procedure to get the codes (engine warmed up, then ignition off, bridge relevant connection and ignition on) just results in the light flashing constantly at 2 times a second with no pauses which seems to indicate no fault. I pulled the negative connection on the battery to reset the ECU but same result.So really looking for some advice on what to try and in what order.
I have a friend with a REV3 NA so can borrow some parts to check/rule things out.Many thanks to any help you can give.
