What is the reason for the engine speed reaching a maximum of 4000 rpm?

It is likely that there is an issue with the system program or sensors, and specialized computer diagnostics are required. It is recommended to visit a repair shop as soon as possible to identify the cause. Below is relevant information about the engine: 1. Engine function: The car engine is the device that provides power to the vehicle, serving as the heart of the car and determining its power, fuel efficiency, stability, and environmental performance. 2. Materials used: Engine oil is the essential material for the engine and is crucial to its operation. Engine oil contains various additives that effectively protect the engine's important moving components, ensuring normal operation.
Recently, I also encountered a similar issue where my car's RPM couldn't exceed 4000, and it wouldn't go up during hard acceleration. There could be several reasons for this. It might be that the engine control unit (ECU) has a speed limiter function to protect the engine from overload, which is quite common in modern cars. It could also be a fault, such as a faulty throttle position sensor causing the ECU to mistakenly think you're only partially pressing the accelerator, thus capping the RPM at 4000. Or the mass airflow sensor might be dirty, affecting the calculation of air intake and preventing the RPM from rising. Check if the engine warning light is on and use an OBD scanner to quickly identify the root cause. To prevent such issues, avoid stomping on the accelerator and ensure regular maintenance of the sensors.
As someone who enjoys tinkering with cars, I believe that the inability to reach 4000 RPM is commonly caused by ECU speed limiting or sensor malfunctions. If the crankshaft position sensor fails, the ECU won't receive RPM signals and will forcibly restrict the engine to a safe range. Insufficient fuel pump pressure or clogged fuel injectors, which can't supply enough fuel, can also cause RPM limitations. Start by checking the fuel and electrical systems, and inspect whether the spark plugs are worn out with weak ignition—these are simple fixes you can do yourself. Don't rush to replace parts; troubleshoot starting from the least expensive components to avoid unnecessary spending.
