so, when the CEL comes on, go straight to somewhere where they can read the code and see what it says. don't turn the car off

I thought the stock revlimit was 7200?

if he chipped the ECU then he probably set his rev limit higher.

ya my p28 its chiped to 9000rpm but i think something its wrong wit it. It wont give code even when the check engine light its on . So i think i will have to change my ecu

you can check your own code with a paper clip and the blue jumper under the passenger side dash

Unless your engine is built to handle it, you shouldn't be revving to 7500 and above anyway
