Today i was in 6th gear around 70 +- mph....tried to drop it into 4th slipped into second....i didnt drop the clutch but as i released the clutch it revved up and the tach started blinking..i then put the clutch in of course. I am SEVERELY worried that i messed something up and bent vales messed up pistons and all that horribly stuff I am very paranoid right now and cannot get sleep. I dont know what i should do...if Bill man or anyone can point me in the right direction i would appreciate it!!

I have a my06. Im also running a test pipe so the CEL is there....what should i do??

HELP!!

get a scanner and make sure the CEL is from the too rich code.

Then pull the valve cover off and inspect the valves from above, try to see if you can see any damage.

Althought not the best route, its a start.

What you should really do is pull the valves and inspect each one.

 

There is no reason to pull valves and inspect each one, that's what a leakdown test is for.

I'd start by fixing the CEL. If there is no way to get around the CEL on the 06 with a test pipe, then get rid of the test pipe.

AP2s are difficult to damage, I'll bet you're fine by your explanation.

If you wanna pull the v-cover and make sure all is good we could do that too.

 

How is the car running?

 

car is running fine...its just when u are paranoid u just become more perceptive to noises lol...im getting an oil change and getting the CEL pulled right now...hopefully the only code that will show is the one from my testpipe...im gonna remove it as suggested...thanks for all the help so far!! i hope everything turns out well...

also a billman!! can u pm me with details of rates for your services and also for the once over ...i think i need one of those

 

You can have a bent valve that is very very slightly bent and the car still may run fine at idle, and the power loss will be minimal to be able to be detect w/ the butt dyno. The cel should pick this up but I'd be most comfortable doing a leakdown test as Bill said.
