My mates had the same problem as yours after getting a new ECU, his was an x16xe too. Hitting the limiter at 5k.

And that was fitted by Vauxhall :mad:


using a 1.4 ecu makes no difference im using one on my 1.6 and the rev limiter is normal and the speed is that of a standard 1.6

are the sockets on the ecu the same colour as the plugs on the wires going into it

You haven't told us what car or engine it is. If it is a diesel then it is spot on!

Limp mode is around 3k iirc
My old tigra went into limp mode every time i bounced off the limiter in the wet being silly :lol:

Get it plugged in at vaux. Maybe in limp mode so may need resetting?? Could be wrong.
