Thread: odd question

i have a 99 gtp S/C anyways if i put it in park and i believe nuetral i rev it or floor it it will go to about 4500 rpms and it will hum and bob back and forth. does anybody know what im trying to say or talking about is this normal "is there like a built in rev limiter???" thanks -Joe- ps: im not to explaining things

It is called a rev limiter. There is no need to rev the engine higher than that while in park or neutral anyway.

It keeps your engine from destroying itself while you're in the drive through at McDonalds reaching for your wallet and accidentally mash the pedal.

FYI, it's not good to rev it and let it sit against that rev limiter. Its pulling fuel to accomplish this and you're going to pop a piston.

i just don't understand the reason y u would do that?

yeah i no its not good i was just being dumb a few nights ago and showin off =] haha anyways yeah thanks i understand the rev limiter know.
