I have chaged the ECU, and that did not fix the problem. Anyone have any other suggestions.

Sputtering Problems
I have a 95 SC400 and I am having problems with the engine sputtering. Its not the fuel filter, the car cranks right up on a cold start. I just changed the plugs and wires had the MAS checked out. I think it maybe the ignition coils. However the sputtering is not consistent it comes and it goes. Any feedback would be a great help.

my did the same thing,got me crazy,i did check everything, and finally it was one of the coils,it look plug in,but because the plastic plug is crack and old, it really wasn't, it took me 3 days to realize it because it started right up and idle good but didn't go pass 4 k

Ok, I have an update with no good news. Changed both ingniters, and checked the harness plugs, but is still have the rev cut at 3800-4000. I have wires and spark plugs on the way. Hope this fixes it. Anyone have additional input or a similar problem with a solution? Thanks

I havent tested that part yet, but I'm going to. I have a friend who is going to let me borrow his cluster. I'll let you know as soon as I try it out.

Just a thought to throw out there, I trust that this issue has been resolved by now seeing that the last post was April of last year. My buddy has a 2G eclipse (4G63 turbo motor). His coolant temp sensor was sending a wrong signal to the ECU putting the car in Limp mode because the computer thought the car was over heating...thus preventing him to rev past 4000rpm. So maybe there is something causing you car to be in Limp mode maybe?

sc400 4000rpm rev limit
I just bought my sc400 from an impound lot it sat for 8 months and its also doing the 4000 rev limit. The mass air flow sensor works as it should. Also while holding peddle to the floor it shifts exactly at 4000-4200 rpm every gear everytime. even in neutral. I have 210.000 miles. I would love to have my Horsepower back. car runs starts and drives great besides that. The igniters i checked and its not that. so far my ideas are as follows. spark plugs, coils, ecu, Injectors. If i solve it i will post what it was.
