Hi,

I have a newly aquired imported GT. The engine light comes on at 75mph. I could toodle about all day under that speed with no problem, but as soon as I go over the light comes on, but there are no obvious driving or engine probs as such.
I've read through some of the forum topics, and this seems to be a bit of a problem for ST's. I had thought it something to do with a former limiter that I was told it had in Japan, which has now been disconnected. However general consensus of opinion seems to be that GT's don't have limiters. Is that the case?? Or do we know of Japanese imports that do? Its the only thing I can think of. I'm gonna have a look at fitting a switch inline as suggested in some posted messages to see if that solves the problem, but I'd welcome any other suggestions.

Ruth

Wouldnt you be able to tell if the sensor is cut cuz your speedo isnt working?

no, its not that kind of speed sensor. the speed sensor that he has disabled goes from the tranny, to the CC, if he has one, and then to the ecu so it can enable the speed limiter. his car has the wire cut right before the ecu

the speedo is connected directly to the tranny.
