Cut off on 05 XRS at 7K RPM??? - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

turbo4 · 01-24-2006, 06:28 PM

A friend of mine owns one and we where out one day driving and he was curious to see if the engine would rev that high. Well at 7,000 RPM the limiter cut in and my friend and I where very shocked. I didn't beleive it so I took it for a spin and it did the same thing! My friend wants to notify toyota but he is afraid that if he does he could void his warranty. Then again Toyota is to blame for LYING to there owners that the engine can rev that high. Even in the brochure it says that the engine get full power at 7,600 RPM. How can this be when it cuts in at 7,000RPM. On the RPM gauge redline starts after 8,000. What should my friend do?? Should he go to the dealer or call toyota direct?? PLEASE HELP

Why would it void his warrenty deffinatly bring it to toyota, his rpm gauge could be lagging also.

WTF???
7K rpm is where all the fun starts with this car.

This can't be true or something is seriously wrong with the car.
Take it to the dealer!

Any mods?
What grade gas was in the tank?
Was the engine fully warmed?
What gear were you trying it at?

I believe the cutoff is 8400 rpm. There are some people that had work/service done and their 2zz's started doing the same thing; they brought it to the dealer and they were fed the same bullshit. I'd be pissed since lift is 6K-8.4K. So, any work been done to it lately?

IF the engine is cold it will only rev to 7000 before the engine limiter kicks in if it is warm it will cut in at 8300ish

You sure it was an XRS.. maybe he has a Corolla S.

I believe him... 1ZZ would die at 7k.

Why would it cut off at 7 if he mentioned redline is after 8000?

Then again, my Corolla cuts off a little before redline, but it's auto.

This is true, your friend is a dumbass reving a cold motor that high.

WOW i cant believe that you would do that to such an great car and it did nothing to deserve that kind of abuse. Yes wlm300 is correct the corolla xrs is pretty smart it wont let you destroy your engine if it is cold i still dont let it get above 4000 untill it is warm.
