Well, code 33 is speed sensor (gearbox)
I fitted an EJ18 into a kombi and did not wire up the speed sensor(among a few
others). In this configuration the engine would rev limit to about 4,000 revs.
I grounded the Neutral drive switch (or gear and clutch switch) and this fixed
the problem. (If the ecu thinks it is in Neutral it rev limits the system).
BTW the EJ 18 was a top conversion, and I had 15,000 trouble free Klms, before
I sold it.
Top speed with the standard gearing was close enoght to 100mph (camper, pop
top etc.)Scary thought eh!
