Auto or manual? Is this when you are parked or moving?

Some have P rev limiters set lower than they are in drive. Try it in drive. No reason to be revving to 6K in park.

it will cut as it should. even says is on the scanner when reprogramming a crank sensor. As schpenxel said.....no reason to do so in park anyways. Does it do it while driving?

So I am curious, why would you need to rev the engine in park so high?

If attempting to warm the engine up at startup it is a bad idea.

Another reason?
