and other than the embarassment of revving your engine and not moving fast in traffic, your car should be fine. Have you called roadside yet?

if the engine is not turning over you have a problem more severe then limp mode... limp mode will allow you to limp your way back to your destination.....
you will have no boost and only 2 cylinders... your exhaust will also sound like it is farting....
on another note I was bangin my girl the other day and i stopped, she asked what happennend I said LIMP MODE !

Try one more thing. Put the key to the 2nd position, (One past the radio position) Give it about 5-7 seconds and then give it a try. That will build fuel pressure. Give it a whorl!
It could be an intake leak or issue. Check all connections in the engine bay

just in case try putting the key in the run position 3rd p0sition and let it sit for approximately 10 minutes. in gm cars this can be used to reset the bcm in certain cases (security light etc..) just an idea though. and some more info does the car crank and then not turn over or nothing at all.

Hey guys,
I'm back. Here is/was the problem.
Apparently after Rob's looneytune, the Stage 5 S/C and whatever else I did, caused the F/I fuse to blow.
This was found after compression testing, and finding that the plugs weren't firing. We replaced the 10amp fuse with a 15, and all is well.
HOWEVER.....
When this happened, I noticed that:
1. My radio, and it's peripherals are all dead. I don't know why, but they are.
2. My factory remote does not open the doors, trunk, or the emergency alert doesnt work either.
What is getting me is that I checked all fuses, and they are kosher. Did I miss something?
Please advise,
Hnda

Now who gets stuck paying for this fix out of his pocket? Hondaeater! When it wasn't even his fault. Go GM! Either way bro I'm glad nothing crazy major happened. Later...
Dude cut him some slack sheesh. All intense has to do now is include a 15amp fuse and all is good. Just because someone goes with Intense and something happens doesnt mean that GM rules. My brother has an EVO that cranks about 400whp and yeah stuff happens from time to time, but if you wanna play with the big dogs you're going to have to pay to play. We get it GM is covered and nothing else is. Can we finally move on now.
