Exclamation Did early 1uz engine’s have a Rev Limiter

Hi Guys

So I’m just wondering if any 1uz had a Rev limiter??
I”ve got an 89 model 1uz that won’t Rev over 2600 RPM
In Neutral and Park and just thought it was a bit strange?.
So was wondering if there an issue with my ECU or it’s normal for this model?.
Any help would be greatly appreciated..

Cheers Guys

Mine was built on 3/1990, and it can rev above that in neutral or park. Rev limiters are more near the top end of what an engine is capable of - say around 6500rpm, so yours seems too low. Is it possible that engine is in limp mode for some reason?

No it drives normally but just found it unusual as to why it dose this!
I’ve asked a few mechanics but they are unsure to why it dose it also.
