I have noticed lately that my car has been hitting the rev limiter in 1st at around 5600. Usually its much closer to 6000-6100. Any Ideas what could be causing this? I do need a tune but what would cause it to change without my prompting it?

Doubt its a fouled plug since it still pulls really hard, no difference in performance. I took it out tonight and wound out 1st-2nd gear fine. For some reason It hits early only on occasion........

The rev limiter is the computer controling the spark and fuel, since you think it occasionally happens earlier than it should. I would conclude that there is an intermitent problem with the fuel or spark. It is unlikely that the computer would retard them early.
Pump? Fuel filter? Loose wire? Voltage?

It is generally known that the tach is a little slow in these cars. It is much more noticeable in 1st. Maybe your tach has gotten even slower. Probably nothing wrong with the car itself.
