My 95' GPX has a little bit of a hard time getting past the 6k revs mark ... I've read through the forums and have found a heap of different threads and posts claiming different things to be the cause. I've tried letting it warm up for a good half hour before planting my foot, bought an AFC, but am yet to fit it, have read that it could be the "Lambda sensor", also read the following which says that it is a faulty "knock/Detonation Sensor"
Basically, the following summarises my problem;

Here I am Very Happy
Wondering if I could get confirmation on this if anyone else has had this problem, and was able to have it fixed.Yeah I had that problem in my old 96 GPX tiptronic. One day it just wouldn't hit mivec range. Even on kickdown it would bounce off the 5500/6000 range and not kickdown unless you pressed lightly enough so as not to cause a drop of too many gears (and then a consequent jump in revs).
It spent a couple of weeks off the road with the problem eventually being diagnosed as a faulty knock/detonation sensor. Only a cheap part but due to its position smack bang in the middle of the engine block - the labour cost was huge! From memory it cost approx $700...car was right as rain once it was fixed though.
Also, if anyone knows somewhere in Brisbane or Gold Coast that I will be able to get it fixed, and done properly, I kind've want to get it Dyno tuned before and after just for my own peace of mind that it is definately fixed.
Oh, and is there anything that can be done to my engine that will make it run more smoothly? it has been running a bit rough lately..
thankyou! will hopefully be able to have a look at it this weekend
