Anyone encountered this before? The car is a '99 honda prelude.
I just changed my spark plugs (and topped up the engine oil a bit at the same time). Now the revs are being limited to 6500. No check engine light. I tried putting the old plugs back in, and still have the problem. Also tried torquing the plugs in a bit more (was using 13 ft-lbs as per manual), but didn't help. Any ideas? Just coincidence that this happened now?
