Mercedes-Benz C180 Esprit ATP Tour 1998
Cannot drive above 3500 rpm
Hello everyone ,
I have a Mercedes C180 W202 1998 Esprit ATP Tour , gasoline , 5-speed manual gearbox .
The problem is , when i'm cruising on 5th gear at 120 km per hour , the throttle is floored and the car cannot go above 3500 rpm .
And obviously the car cannot go above 115-120 km per hour.
It's like it's reached the top speed.
I don't know if the problem persists on lower gears , i usually change gears at around 2500 rpm.
What could be the problem ?
Thank you

If that doesn't work, disconnect o2 Sensor.
If any of those fixes the problem then you might have less trouble finding what is causing it.
