Help Wont rev past Grand!

Getting a 96 integra. The guy said its the crank sensor is bad. Will start some times it takes a few times then it runs. But when its running it wont rev past 4 grand.. Is it the sensor he had it checked and thats what came up? will that cause thoes problems?.. Seems like its hitting rev limiter at 4 grand...

The ECU has put the car in "limp mode". It does it when it senses something wrong with the car that could cause engine damage, it's normal. I had a 1990 Civic last year that that happened to. It wouldn't rev past 3500, it was in limp mode because it had a bad distributor.

Thanks a lot man.. He looked it up with the scanner i think and it was the Crank sensor. Will the crank sensor put it in limp mode?..

yea, if it is serious the engine will just limp it to be safe! crank sensor would be pritty serious for the ecu.

So you are saying the crank sensor would deff cause it then?.. Now the car runs fine he said.. So could it be a shorted out sensor or something.. The scanner said crank sensor when he checked the code...
