Am i freaking out? or is this normal...

Long story short, i got a CEL this morning, didn't think much of it till this shelby parked next to me in a garage started revving. Correct me if i am wrong, but i dont think my car has ever passed the 4k rpm mark while revving in P. Well, it definitely reached 5k, 6k, and 7k rpm while in park when i was revving. Is something wrong?

I am currently running a CATLESS v4 EC tune, no other mods.

It's been established that in P there is an rpm limiter that caps you to 4k or so. Whether the car limits this or not, revving in P or N is not good for the engine. Please avoid.

Thats why i'm confused, it used to limit it to 4k.

But i got the CEL this morning, and now theres no cap? Can't be a coincidence.

i thought if the car is remapped it will rev more in park,i was also told this is one way to tell if your car is remapped,i cannot confirm this though.

If you have a CEL the first thing is to get the car plugged in to check for codes on Star.

I would say don't worry - this happened to me on my car.

Reved it too much at start-up, got CEL, took to the store and they cleared the codes...

All was good and nothing needed repaired.

Yeah, cel went away on its own! Tech told me redlining too much causes a CEL. Guess i gotta let off the throttle a bit
