So I'm driving to work this morning and as soon as I hit 3000 RPM, the engine acts like it hit the rev limiter? It idles perfect and it runs perfect up to 3000 but then it just bounces up and down, literally like it's hit the rev limiter? There are no CEL's, no warning anything was wrong, it ran perfect 5 days ago when I parked it but then this morning...this happens?
I'm open to suggestions!!!
Oh yeah...it's a bone stock '95 Club Sport... __________________ -Dan in Houston

That sure sounds like the same problem, thanks!!
Since I never got any CEL, there's no code to tell me if it's a cam position sensor or a crank position sensor. From this thread it sounds like it's the crank. I guess I'll tackle that this weekend.
I'll let you know how it goes! Anybody got any suggestions or recommendations before I dive in? __________________ -Dan in Houston

Just an update on this...
I changed the cam position sensor....that wasn't it. I changed the crank position sensor...that wasn't it. I gave up and took it to the shop, they are working on it now.
I'll update you again when I know what it was. __________________ -Dan in Houston

Just talked to the shop...it turned out to be the knock sensor. Figures, the one sensor I didn't change.
Oh well, it's running and that's what matters.
Thanks for all the suggestions guys!! __________________ -Dan in Houston
