westy2005 westy2005 Newbie Registered: 03/28/07 Posts: 8 Loc: NEPA	Hey all, just got a 00 Si not too long ago and suprisingly i like it! (currently a subaru tech, also just got rid of a 320whp wrx). I ran into a problem with the Si tonight that Im not too sure about. The CEL came on (reading codes in the AM) and now the car will not go into vtec and has a limiter at 6500 rpm. Not sure if it is a common problem that is all tied together or not??!! I will post codes tomorrow night, but anyone got any common things to look at with these symptoms?? Thanks in advace! -Westy _________________________ Si...I dont know, thats how I bought it!

Thanks so far! _________________________ Si...I dont know, thats how I bought it!
