Could someone please help,
My '98 Sentra Si 1600 suddenly quit revving past 2000.
No matter if I'm in park, neutrual, or in any gear. It is absolutely fine until it hits that mark and then all of a sudden it begins to slowly die and I cannot accelerate (no warning signs appear on the dashboard), like it isn't receiving any more fuel.
If I push my clutch in and the revs drop back below the 2000 rpm line the car continues to run. This problem occurs randomly and without warning at times which makes it harder to diagnose.
I have checked/changed the following:
-Tested Fuel pump relay and check fuel
-Press check and clean distributor cap
-Rotor treat against moisture check
-Power to fuel pump - took fuel sample
-Checked for water in fuel
Also, I was thinking alternator - but the battery light would be on if this was the case?
If not that the computer, or something causing the computer to malfunction as its misreading it/supplying false information?
These problems just started and any info would be greatly appreciated. I thought it might be important to mention it was rainy weather when this happened. I dont have much experience with cars :( Im still quite young and this is the first vehicle I've owned. So please..If its not too much of an inconvenience would you mind explaining in lamens terms :D sorry.
Thanks in advance.
