So, something on my lap fell, went to pick it up, accidentally redlined , bounced off rev limiter once or twice, immediatly took foot off pedal, engline came on, got to a light, stalled, no longer starts up, honda is cool

(a whole 1000 miles on her too)

 

ouch.................it happens.......I bounced bad once then foot slipped and happened again.....sh*t happens....especially when new ..takes awhile to get use to.......She will be fixed...and soon will be able to be looked backed on and a stupid grind will appear on your face.....I can't belive i did that. Its a car.....its always fixable! Bet ya its something stupid!

 

i guess at least you didnt hit anything through that whole adventure. Sounds like its fixable. Good luck.

 

What gear did this all happen in?

 

odd. I'm not sure that we have the whole story here. redlining the motor doesn't do that. so... how did you misshift it at redline? and what gear?

 

Ummm, huh?

Where did I put that BS flag again??

I'm not calling you a liar or anything so dramatic but either your engine was broken to begin with (it happens especially since it's only got 1K on the ODO, call it DOA) or there is more to this story that you are telling us.

Bouncing off the rev limiter should have NO adverse effect unless you do it for like 10 minutes.

 

We need more details.

 

Unless you downshifted and over-revved your engine, just bouncing off the rev limiter shouldn't hurt the engine. After all, the rev limiter is there as a safety device, so you DON'T damage the engine.

 

I don't understand the "Honda is cool" line at the end.....as a matter of fact WTF is he saying in his entire post?

 

can someone please translate this entire post?

he/she lost me at "took foot off pedal"..............
