On my strong running 97, with 135,000 miles, I finally checked the over revs with the durametric and found that I had none. I had pulled the ims 10,000 miles ago, replaced with a new one. The old one look to have a lot of life left in it. I take the car to 6,000 rpm's once a week, so the old ims had clear oil in it when I cut it apart.

This tread is open for, any ideas on a Ims failure do to over rev's? It would be nice to have the data from the dme's of cars with ims failure to see any correlation.

Thanks,

Mike
