PROBLEM! ANY IDEAS? was created by jonesyba420
Hello people i need some assistance diagnosing a problem.
I thought i might have had a dying clutch on my hands as my little jimny wouldnt rev above 4000rpm and was struggling to get upto speed also the exhaust tone had got louder.
however i sat in it tonight in neutral with the clutch up and reved it towards 4000rpm when i got there it was like i hit the rev limiter it just wouldnt rev any higher!could this be a clutch issue even in neutral and stopped or is something else going on? im now thinking an exhaust issue maybe a blocked or collapsed cat? no warning lights have come on either.
im just guessing tho hence im asking you lot

It take its a twin cam engine
Start it up and feel if any exhaust gasses are coming out the exhaust or remove the cat and have a look inside it
