Problems in Cold weather?
Not able to rev over 6k.
Does your car do this. The other day I started the car and took off. (OK I was late) Anyway I normally don't push the car until it warms up. But, being in a hurry, I punched the gas (I had been driving a couple of minutes) and the car coughed and acted like it hit a rev limiter at 6k rpm. Has this happened to anyone else? Is this supposed to happen?
Let me know.

The engine will cut-off fuel at 6k RPM to save your engine from damage. Never punch it before warming it up. If you need to leave ASAP, wait until needle falls to 1.5-2k and then keep RPM's low in shifting until the temperature needle rises to the middle.
