car won't rev past 2500rpm. and when it gets up there it sounds bad and pops a lot. Timing is right on. I double check the lifters and rockers. yes this is a new motor. I don't have a rev limiter. I do have a custom burned chip in it tuned for the car. Any body have any idea or clues? Here is my setup.

Please help with any info or thoughts. Thanks

 

forgot to mention that the motors over heats pretty quick.

 

what do you have for exaust... is your cat cloged... other wise what else is it doing... runing rich... lean... smoking.. kinda hard to tell form your info

 

How'd they tune the chip if it won't rev past 2500? :shrug:

Anyway, it does sound like it could be timing, regardless of your convictions. Have you tested the igniton components yet? Fuel pressure? Double checked wire routing? Have you brought it to temp yet? What are the symptoms then? Any codes? Give up some more info and it will be easier.

 

EFI mike did a custom e prom from the specs i gave him. I tried the stock chip and another custom one i had for my last mild motor. All the same. Timing isn't the problem. The firing order has been double checked.the only thing i don't know 100% on is the distributor. Bought it from JMattlock88 and he only ran it 150miles give or take a few. Everything else should be fine. I have brought it to temp......i said it tends to get hot quick. codes are 14,34 (i think), and 42.

 

exhaust is open long tube hooker supercomps

 

How about your sparkplug wires, are they on the right plugs, are they arcing?

 

the wires are the msd 8.5mm super conductors and the are in a billet wire looms over the headers (as seen on most hot rods). They are on the right plugs. I'm so stumped. Someone mentioned that it could be one or more of the injectors that is not working or not shooting fuel?!?!?!?!?!?!? They were sitting for about 3months before being fired again. please help. need to get my daily driver back up on the road again!
