What the hell are you talking about. Explain what happens better so we know what is going on.

Better yet, just do a tune up and post back if you still have problems.

Well you have yet to explain the problem at 4k... You just say that it won't go above it. Does it sputter, does it just wind out, whats it do?

Hmmm... I have never heard of anything quite like that before... Have you done an all around basic tune up on the motor?

i just bought the car the other day for $400 and i had to put a intake on it.... the people i got it from said it wouldnt shift but it did just fine until it hit 4k it seems more like it bogs down and wont rev any higher so i have to shift until i get to 4k in the next gear

Well for 400 bucks you can't expect too much there bud... I'm thinking give it a tune up and it might help... There's just so many directions you could go from here. Also, if there is a CEL then take it to Autozone or whichever you prefer and have them stick the code reader on it and see what it has to say. That might help us with a direction to go from here.

Wow...400 dollars huh. Well, for that price you shouldn't expect the car to perform any miracles..in fact you should expect it to start breaking down anytime soon..It's probably been to hell and back mechanically or half of it is still there. That car should be worth over 2,500..

However, sounds like a air/fuel problem.

i had to put a intake on it...

when you say this, what do you mean? is it a aftermarket intake or just one of those drop-in filters? it sounds like there is something wrong with the air metering system. the same thing happend to me when i forgot to plug in the maf sensor.

His car has no MAF sensor. You are going to have to get the CEL checked out or you will just be guessing.

Someone probably removed the stock air box and air channeling plastic tubing n shit. He might have been driving it with no MAF after he put a 'intake' on it and doesn't realize he needs a maf to actually drive the car the way its meant to be driven.

I know his car does not have a maf. i said,"the same thing happend to ME when I forgot to plug in the maf sensor."
the key word there is 'ME', which means I was refering to my car.
