Re: b18 hatch hittin rev limiter
been running completely good, no vtec fluid, none its an LS.
It did this before, and it wouldnt start right after the swap...fuel pump wouldnt work, but i had a bad ground, completely re-did that and wiring...and its been running strong since. it just randomly started, i have raced it or taken it to the track.. so its blowing my mind. ill check the tps though havent done that yet.

i had that problem before, but not in all gears.... try checking your throttle body's screw thingy (i just got off work i cant think straight)....try backing that screw out. otherwise check and see if your fpr/fuel filter is ok.
