Did you go to the same place for the 92 Oct?

Since it started I exhuasted my supply of gas (until the light came on) then just put 7gals of fresh 92oct in. Ran it hard for awhile to make sure anything in the lines was gone, but the problem persists.
Bad gas was my first guess, thought that some gas monkey might have pumped me 87 instead of 92 (its happened before)
I have not washed the engine bay lately. Last time I did was well before any of this started.Leave a comment:

i would check the obvious first: check the fuel system. neil's 325is did the same thing at 5500 rpm. it was like clockwork.Leave a comment:

Jordan, I had the same problems with my car from about 210k-255k, and the problem has since never come back. The car would cut out at anywhere from 5800 to 6500rpms, almost like a rev limiter, but more like the ignition is being cut. It was an intermittent problem and I havn't experienced it for quite some time, and never found the cause.Leave a comment:

Having some engine trouble.
Lately my engine has decided not to rev past 6,000RPM without a fight. Started doing it last week, but was an isolated event... then a couple nights ago it started doing it habitually. Now its every time.
Doesn't seem to be dependant on engine load at all. Be it 1st, 2nd, or 3rd, Uphill or down, going straight, or sliding sideways.
I can accelerate to 6,000RPMS then its like it hits a revlimiter. It kicks off power quick, misfires, and is reluctant to increase RPMS. If I keep my foot planted it will increase RPM's (while struggling) to the 6,900RPM redline.
Haven't changed anything or messed with anything that I can think of that might cause this issue.
I run MarkD's 93 Oct. chip in my 173 ECU. Had it in there for many months without issue. I run 92 Oct. Shell V-Power all the time, and currently have 1/2 a tank full of it.
Anyone have any bright ideas?
