Cesar,
Does your engine light comes on? If ECU detects an error it limits the engine to 4000 rpm, stores an error code and your engine light should come on. If it doesn't climb the revs after 4000 rpm this the most likely thing to happen.
If this is the case you may want to look at
here and
here.
Hope I was helpful,

Should the light keep showing even with just the ignition on ?
Or does it show only when getting to 4000rpm ?

The engine light should flash twice at start then go out after start. If it comes on during running it is an indication of a fault. In that case you will need to do the
paperclip test.

Hi,
In fact the engine light is not showing, and when I try to enter the "diag mode" I can t !
Do you think it can be electrical ? or other idea ?
Thanks
Cesar

I think that maybe the warning light has blown or been removed.

Sounds like yours is doing the same as what Jetro's did last year. After enough running, the engine check light did actually activate.
Elanscan revealed a CAS fault.
