rpm/alternator problem

[nate]

Hello everyone from australia, ive got i nittle niggle with the fto.
well i had my busted alternator replaced, which through the right front quarter panel is heaps easier if anyone didn't know.
then from that day on the car has been freekin reving out at 6050rpm,
so i did a self diagnosis test and came up with 64 and in my code book from a website i got Alternator FR terminal, so i took it to a mechanic and he said it could be a computer problem and for me to take it onto the dyno.
i was thinking because my mivec would kick in around that rpm does by any chance the mivec run off the FR terminal? because i would prefer to swap the alternator, its a cheaper option
an alternator replacement costs around $600au.
where the dyno would cost me a little big bit more.

I would bet your alternator has been replaced with the incorrect model, the GPX has a different one to other models and this will cause your car to limit at about 6K rpm.

This is a common problem when the unit is replaced.
The GPX one has an extra wire going back to the ECU
HOpe this helps

Also double check the connections are correct and tight.
