Help me with my 04 Please!!!!
If the green immobilizer 'key' blinked at you, your ignition switch got turned from the 'run' position to the 'accessory' position. No ands, ifs, or buts about it.
You turned the key with something.
You turned the key with something.
If you were moving your leg from gas to brake, that's when it seems most likely to happen, which it sounds like what you were doing. If you have your remote or other keys attached to your keychain they could have just been at the right angle that your knee touched the remote and that in turn turned the key....it's happened to me before.

Probably Heat soak.
Probably normal.
Happens to many owners after hard runs.
Let cool, go out and drive the car, should run perfect, if it does not, have it checked, but should run fine, don't worry...

Is this really normal?
Heat soak can happen, but the length of time really doesn't matter.
Try driving your car super hard for a couple of hours.
Ex: In 2~3rd gear and vtec the whole time.
I've experienced heat soak once and the car would bog down in the lower revs while tring to take off.

Heat soak or not having the clutch in would not cause the immobilizer light to come on and the instruments to go dark.
I'm with the key theory but you may not have hit the actual key with your knee, you may have hit the key chain with your knee (if you have one that dangles).

I think my knee hitting the key chain is more likely cause I've been driving my car the whole day and it runs fine........at that time I didn't let go the clutch, I didnt have to step on the clutch either cause I was slowly decelerating from 5000rpm-------------> 4000rpm in 2nd gear where all of the sudden my intrument lights just went all dark and the immobilizer green light came on.....So I think I did hit the key or key chain somehow when I was hitting the brake.........But thanks for the help guys.
