What can rev limit ford 4.0l sohc engine?

I have an old 2002 ford explorer sport trac. I understand that there's a rev limiter when in park or neutral, however mine also rev limits while driving. I know there's a 'neutral' switch somewhere that I will check when I can find it and get a new one, but is there any other conditions that can cause the engine to limit at 3000 while driving. It is smooth and quiet but just won't go above 3000, the car would also not produce any spark when the temperature dropped below -10c I don't know if it is connected or a separate problem.

The rev limiter on your car is not what's causing it to stop at 3,000. The no start when cold is usually sensor related. The rpm issue is often a plugged converter or muffler--engine can't breathe at high rpms.

Do an OBD2 code check and stop trying to guess.

  • 2014 Ford Mustang v6 top speed with driveshaft replaced and rev limiter removed? Can anyone tell me the top speed a 2014 mustang v6 305 hp will run as a top speed with the limiter removed and the driveshaft replaced.

Also my rev limiter has already been removed.

  • Is there a time limit for sending in photos after a modeling scout asks for them? So I recently submitted some photos to ford models and they responded requesting more photos taken outside in natural light and with certain poses and attire. The only problem is that school work and daylight savings make this incredibly hard to do. It will take me at least 2-3 days before I have the time to respond, does this look bad? Will I be killing my chance before I even get it by not responding quickly? Also is it common for them to email back?
  • Is there a time limit on car recalls? My 2009 ford fusion has been on recall for 2 years now I think. Takata air bag recall. Ford has been paying for me a rental car for 6 months so far. There's still no remedy. So what happens if it can't be fixed? What can happen if it gets to 2020 with no remedy?
