Some vehicles are equipped with an engine speed (RPM)
limiting device contained within the powertrain control module
(PCM). The purpose of this device is to maintain peak engine
speed (RPM) below a specified limit. This feature is only
evident on automatic transmission vehicles when shifting
manually (1, 2, D) and on all manual transmission units. (Engine
speed limits may vary based on engine displacement.)
*
[IS13550(R)03/96]
If you are experiencing an ªengine cut-outº condition at high
speeds, it may be the result of this limiting device. It is a
normal condition and can be avoided by reducing
vehicle/engine speed.
