    Well he said cold morning so I would guess not warmed up. Start ups are hard on all cars. Don't boost or redline your car until it's nice and warm. Sounds like fuel cut? What RPM and throttle? Any mods?

    Edited to say: Your gif. I totally did that yesterday.

    /sigh No one provided any real insight, the car is not functioning right. It should not cut out at around 4k even when cold.

    You shouldn't be revving to 4K when cold...

    Please describe "cutting out". This is not a technical term. It the car temporarily losing power? Will it not accelerate past 4K? Is it hitting a limiter? Is it dying and needs restarting after "cutting out"?

    Need more info to help you. A eubonics description wasn't much to go off of, that's why there's no help yet.

    I still dont get why you want to beat on your car when its cold . I mean if it does not do this when its warmed up then why do you care...

    IDK if you noticed but I asked for only 2 things from you to help: RPM/throttle and and Modifications done to the car.

    Insight? Your question consisted of one sentence with 16 words. Lucky anyone gave you time. By the way "the car is not functioning right" is not a technical term nor is it helpful. Your .gif is super awesome though.

    Yeah, actually. It kind of should, because none of the sensors are telling it what to do efficiently, most notably at high rpms. Read about open and closed loop modes. Then sell your car.
