Reving limited When in Neutral.

Hi.

I have a 99 XKr project which is getter there but when the car is sat in neutral it will only rev to 3000 rpm.

It feels like it being limited but would appreciate confirmation form you kind folk?

Cheers

Even if the engine was not factory limited to 3,000 rpm in neutral or park, it’s not wise to rev up any engine excessively without a load on it, cold or warmed up.
