It's normal if you're running in 3rd gear!?! (On my
5-speed,
anyway). Try shifting into 4th! :-)
Seriously... At constant speed, you'll always show the same
RPM for
a given gear, and it's not adjustable. Many other
performance cars
do the same thing, with close gearing to keep you in a
"power" state
for handling and control. If you're in changing traffic,
that's a
good powerband to be in for quick response. But if you're
on a long
trip with no road or traffic conditions, go to the next gear (or
two).

what gear are you in?
you might try upshifting if you have another gear left. If
you're running
4500rpm @80 in 5th or 6th(in the second gen cars) then I think
you have a
problem.
I think, without testing it and not having driven on the highway
in a
couple weeks, that 4500rpm @80 would be about right for 4th?
Maybe
3rd. (in a first gen)...
I'm definitely not knowledgeable to say this for sure, and would
love
feedback from the other list members as to wether this might be
it if he's
in 5/6th... clutch is slipping? But wouldn't that be
accompanied by a
burning smell? I'm probably totally off base...
but again, it matters what gear you're in...

Umm, maybe he has an NA car with an automatic?

Check the MAS. Have you modified it? I have, and my check engine
light
comes and goes. The ECU learns there isn't a problem, and
cancells the
error code.

This is what we did on our 92 StealthTT, and 95 VR4.
A local Bay-Area resident or two has seen it, and others in
Tulsa/Dallas/Houston as well.
