    6 degree cam advance preventing motor from revving past 2,500??

    Am I just a total idiot? Or what? Turbo M20, no wideband, O2 sensor still hooked up, MAF not adjusted, 6 degree cam advance. Car doesnt rev past 2,500, I cant get a direct answer on how much fuel pressure I should have as I have an adjustable fuel pressur regulator, runnign 24# injectors, anyways, I also havent adjusted my AFM and every thread i take time to read is a bunch of BS about the M30 AFM not the M20 AFM, How do I adjust the M20 AFM???? Obviously it would best be done with a wideband but I know what a car smells like rich so im not scared to foul a set of plugs messing around. What I'm wondering is why it seems like I'm hitting the rev limiter at 2,500 RPM, ANY INSIGHT IT GREATLY APPRECIATED THANKS ~Winston~

          It's probably rich at low RPM and leaning out when it revs up. Severe lean will make it not rev.

          Advanced timing plus boost is not such a great thing.

            You adjust the afm wheel by turning the wheel under the black cap either clockwise or counterclockwise. This is the wheel to turn:



            It's under the cap that has the sticker on it:



            The cap is a bitch to pry off.



            I doubt that's your problem though

                  Try taking the compressor outlet hose off and putting the stock injectors back. Then see if it'll rev past 2500.
