I was driving on a 4 lane highway today when I felt my car start to miss. I started to look for a place to pull over when the CEL light came on. I got in the turn lane as there was no shoulder and my car was bucking like crazy as I came to a stop at a red light. My car dies, I restart, car dies again, I restart and the only way I can keep it going is to keep on the gas a little.

These two idiots in an early 90's neon were behind me. They must have interpreted my distress as a sign I wanted to race because they started revving their fart can and giggling like two school girls.

The light turns green and I limp into the turn bucking back and forth with my hazards on. As the neon flew past me I heard the kid in the passenger seat yelling, "YA! YA! YOU GOT HIM! GO! YA! YA!" I limped into the shoulder and fixed my problem.

The sad thing is these kids are probably at the local rice meet telling everyone about the S2000 they killed today...

 

Sounds like the kid wasn't serious and was just trying to be funny.

If he was actually being serious, then he has serious problems. The kind of problems that will eventually lead to his unwittingly dying from choking on his own saliva.

 

what was the problem with your car? fuel, vacuum?

 

MAP signal pin. For some reason it works its way out of the ecu plug.

 

hmm...good to know then

I love the few and far between times I've gone to "street races" and whomped on everybody there...hehe...nobody can say they own'd you...hehe, the little neons don't even bother talking to you

 

There was a TSB for it. Common problem. Solved with a zip tie and some crazy glue. No joke.

 

No I'm not talking about the wires there. I'm talking about where they meet the ECU plug.
