rev limiter ?
changed the oxygen sensor in my 96 ssei yesterday. revved it up it park and it cuts out at 4000 rpm .....revs drop......back to 4000...drop again. is this normal? i guess i never have revved it up hard in park before. im guessing the computer limits the rpms when not in gear? runs perfect on the road.

My 91 Lumina Euro 3.1 had a rev limiter, 4K in park. And the speed governor is at 119 MPH.
Yes, I do know that from experience, thanks for asking

Mine doesn't have one.. my car is too dumb.. I never go past 3k without her in gear. Although, I probably will at a stoplight one day.. next to a camaro with a big head.

There is load on an engine dyno, but it'* not 4000lbs like your car experieces everyday. If you want i could dig up my Hot Rod magazine with the 4-5 page article on them
