[2001tibkthx]

ok so sometimes my rev limitter hits at 6500 rpm or as soon as is hit red line but not normally... normally it hits like right before 8 or right at 8..wth.. can anyone explain this to me????

I don't know what to tell you but the rev limiter kick in at between 6200 and 6500. Any higher would not do you any good since you will loose all power at that range.

the knock sensor is the main reason for that in hyundai's. if the car isen't knocking at the red line the car will continue to rev but like cottonmouth said your engine isen't making any power up there and all you are doing is hurting your valvetrain.

i think the tach is just off... and sometimes its not... im thinking this because when i paid close attention the car sounded the same at when it was hitting at 6500 as it did hitting at 7800... the car was still accelerating as i approached 7800 so... idk wth
