Default Hitting 7k rpm in 2nd occasionally causes jolt

on two occasions I was pushing the car over the 6k mark, when I hit 7000rpm in 2nd gear the car jolted, passengers lurched forward and then car took off. I have no idea what happened, might be related to cold engine, even so this shouldn't be. Outside temp at time was 85+ degrees. Tried to pushing again and it did not happen.

Has anyone else had this problem ?

If your temp shows less than 3 bars, the ECU prevents you from VTEC... safety safety TOTALLY NORMAL Just try not to do it often.

If your temp is 3 bars and it is happening... use the search function for "MAP Sensor" Some people tap it and it and the lurching goes away... others replace it because they broke it tapping it. But I don't know that from experience at all....
