Acura rsx won't rev over 4000 rpm - RSX Acura Cars & Trucks

SOURCE: 2003 acura rsx cough sputter

Regarding the heating issue, sounds like your thermostat is stuck open so the coolant isn't heating up. (May need replacement) Does your engine temp guage show it running colder than normal?

SOURCE: acura rsx trunk latch stuck & won't open

could be the spring release in the lever on the trunk itself. If you can hear the acuator locking/unlocking(that is all it's ment to do) then the spring release is the problem. you need to unbolt the latch from inside the trunk and once the trunk is open you can trace from there. I had the same problem due to a minor fender bender and I just fixed mine last week.

Is it in park or neutral? I noticed the same thing on mine and realized that there is a rev limiter on the 02 3.8v6 that will not allow it to go over 4000rpm.

you may be in need of a tune up. Try squirting some wate (with a squirt bottle not a hose) an look for arcing, aslo squirt around the coil, you should eather see or hear thedifferanceonce they are et.

Hi

one of 3 faults

1 MAF sensor also Known as air mass sensor
2 EGR valve, this is most common with the 4000 rev limit and a top speed of say 50 mph
3 air leaks or tears in air pipes or poor seals.

I would be tempted to clean both the EGR and MAF sensor before spending any money though, these parts ofetn work much lonegr when clean
