TITLE: Engine Falters, No Power, Won't Rev Over 7,000 RPM
APPLIES TO: 00-05 S2000
SERVICE TIP:
To protect the engine in a '00-05 S2000 from wear and damage, the ECM limits the engine speed to 7,000 rpm until the engine coolant reaches its normal
operating temperature. This is the same fuel cutoff function that prevents damage if you red-line the engine. There's nothing you can do to change it; it's
just a design characteristic of the S2000.
