help please `

hey i have a question i have a 95 eclipse gs but my car only goes to hundered i dont know why it say 160 cuz i was racing this eclipse rs last night on the highway and ma car stopped at 100mph and did not go faster does somebody know wut is wrong

govnor maybe?

wuts that

ok im not sure im just starting to learn about mechanics but some engines come stock with govnors or how ever you spell it. it keeps you car from going over a selected speed like my company truck goes to 100 then the throttle lets off atomaticly so you cant go over 100. not that big of a deal you can take them off i believe

I'm not sure if the NA's are the same as turbos but........For the turbos...the ECU controls how fast you go...there is a page on how to disable the limiter on VFAQ.COM

ive gotten my rs up to 127. Why would they have the limiter on the GS but not the RS????

wel is it because i have 190,540 miles on my car i dunno

NO DUDE!!!! just cause the gauge says 160 dosent mean it can reach 160 well maybe it can if you drive on a road thats driving straith down even then isnt the fastest fall speed like 120 because of air resistance when you go sky driving? Well yeah you will probably never reach 160 on a RS.

i got a 1996 gs stock and i ran it to 128 today racein my friend in a acura integra...so its just ur car :-/

so does anybody know for sure if the GS's have limiters? i havent yet hit a 100 in mine



edit- sorry didnt see the post above when i posted my own message

my 95 rs govern's at 130, my 95 tsi awd doesn't govern:)

well i dunno is there a limiter on gs if so how u take it off and also another problem it has a slow ass acceleration dunno why .. and also when u slow down and reaccelerate it take time to speed up somebody told me its my timming belt maybe i dunno

if its like crappy acceleration it could be a lot of things but check yoru plugs and wires. Timing belt should really make a difference in how you accelerate and slow down or whatever.
