Re: cant rev past 4500

well i drove the car last night to put sme gas in it and just a few minutes ago i went outside to double check the ground wire...it was a little loose so i tightened it up and went to start it to see if that was the cause of it not revving to 6k. Well now it wont start at all.....and the inspection runs out friday...
