Engine cuts out at 5,000 revs

Post by TheEggShell »

Hi guys,

My car occassionally does this annoying thing where it refuses to go over 5,000 revs. It feels like the engine is cutting power to stop me from doing so.

I was wondering if any of you guys have ever experienced this or what the cause of it might be?
