rapture Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 so today i was driving on 95 and went to shift from 4th to 5th...but mistakenly shifted into 3rd....boom poped engine light and imediatly pulled out of 3rd gear back into fouth and car was bucking back and forth a bit. limped her back to the house which fortunately was only bout a mile away....called AAA and at my buddy's shop the scanner is popping cylinder 3 and 4 misfire codes.... so im replaceing coilpacks and plugs hopefully this end's there....any body care to chime in with advice or experience?

bmx045 Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 is this a warranty issue? you probably spun a bearing by doing this. my buddy did the same thing in his wrx, since the rpms shoot up so quick and the rev limiter doesn't catch it in time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmx045 Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 sounds like classic case of overrev- so yeah, valvetrain/powertrain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZP Installs Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 is this a warranty issue? you probably spun a bearing by doing this. my buddy did the same thing in his wrx, since the rpms shoot up so quick and the rev limiter doesn't catch it in time This would not be a warranty issue since it was user error. Second of all, the REV LIMITER DOES NOT prevent an over rev situation from putting the car into the incorrect gear. The rev limiter will prevent you from blowing the motor due to keeping in the gas through redline. -mike http://www.pbase.com/paisan/image/91072632.jpghttp://www.pbase.com/paisan/image/141039922.jpg http://www.pbase.com/paisan/image/133406601.jpg http://upload.pbase.com/image/137566671.jpg Call directly as We carry almost every manufacturer now, so before you buy parts call us.

derp Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 i was never implying that you were under the influence of anything. i'm simply saying that the 'aaaaand' part of your title made me think of the quote from super troopers. that's all.

Holy ish man, I can't think of anything worse than blowing up a motor because I got mad/cut off by some asshat. GOOD THING IT DIDN'T HAPPEN!!!
