Does the 3.0L have a rev limiter built into the throttle when in park or neutral? Mine revs up to about 3000 rpm when in nuetral or park and will not go any higher no matter how far I push the pedal.

I am thinking this is probably a safety feature, but just want to make certain this is normal on a '02 3.0L with an automatic transmission.

In drive it will go quickly up to 6.5K or so if I jump on the gas. It is just when in 'N' or 'P' that I have noticed this.

Thanks.

 

normal

 

Yup, normal. Our '06 Dodge Grand Caravan does the exact same thing.

 

Thanks. I thought it must be, but none of my other vehicles have this feature so I thought I should check... new to me S-type...

My wife and I are heading to Roeland Pary/ Overland Park/ Lenexa tomorrow. It is her 30th high school reunion... Oh boy! I'll be looking for an S-type on the streets!
