So I was jumping out from a strip mall across two lanes of traffic into a center turning lane. I wound out first gear and at 6500-6700rpm the car just died. I rolled to a stop in the turning lane and tried to restart but got nothing... Car cranked, one or two cylinders fired and stalled. This happened thee or four more times. Of course I didn't have my cell phone because I was just running to the hardware store for something a few blocks from my house... I popped the hood, dip stick was still seated, no oil anywhere, no smoke or anything out of the norm. After ten minutes I cranked it again and it started right up like nothing happened... Car idled and ran smooth right up to the redline through the gears... WTF happened?

 

thats your cars way of telling you it hates you.

 

computer shut you off..happened to me b4

 

i had this happen once, it might have something to do with winding it out so high. mine died the same way, and i just let it sit for a while and it was fine. my buddy said it probably had something to do with the fuel delivery.

 

Nice... That's the last time I hand wash it!

Really strange... I have hammered it way harder than this before. That will be in the back of my mind from now on pulling out into traffic...

 

you bounced it off the rev limiter too hard, had the same thing happen to me
