Once i got to around 6k rpm the engine started to cut out and on again. So it would be going stop and go again. So i thought it was the traction control. So i pressed the traction button when i stopped and tried it again. The same thing happened again. Might there be something wrong or does the engine still need some more miles are is there something else i am missing?
Ok for one with you having an auto the RPM's will never go up to 6k before shifting into the next gear. If you have the tapshift and had it in sport mode or was using the tapshift its the rev limiter kicking in. Make sure the car is really in automatic and not using the tapshift because once you use the tapshift it becomes a manual and acts like one.
