Hi guys,
A little problem ive experienced with my EK9 since i bought it about 3 weeks....
It origonally had the speed limit on still in KPH as it was a fresh import so i asked the trader to convert to MPH and have it delimited at the same time....
All was good, gave it a little test and power is great through all 4 gears, get into 5th gear, power right to a GPS reading of 119MPH and cuts out and sometimes i reach 124mph @7K RPM and same thing cuts out... It literally cannot hit any higher then that speed @7K RPM, when the car revs to around 9K RPM..... so 2K RPM left..... And pulls very well to that speed to and just suddenly cuts out, feels like a speed limiter.....? goes back down to around 116mph and pulls back up to 124mph and carries on doing this cycle..........!
PS, this is GPS reading so alot higher then 112MPH origonal speed cut...
Any ideas? gearbox problem(5th gear) engine problem? Cant work it out as it hits 9K RPM nicely through all the rest of the gears, just not 5th???
Thanks in advance.
