Mr si99

I was racing and on 2nd gear i forgot to shift ....... after i stopped at the stop light the engine shakes?? I dont hear no tapping sound or at least i dont think i did but when i drive its normal no shake everything is smooth. But when i stop the engine shake.... what happen? did i bent a valve or somthing?


I take the freeway everyday to work and I only got one car do you think its safe to drive it around? though the engine doesn't shake when i drive it? but when it comes to a stop it start shaking why why why???

misshifting during street racing

not knowing what happened

how do you forget to shift???

Mr si99

i forgot to look at the rpm and just floor it... plus i wasn't intending to race but the other person floor it so it got my hyped and i floored it to... I dont race much this is like my 2nd race well anyways i got a stock 99 si ......... as when it comes to 2nd gear i just floor it and over rev cuhz again i forgot to look at the rpm because of the excitement. So it comes to a start and motor start shaking....... could it be a bent valve?

SoCalWrencher

are your mortor mounts still all good?

Mr si99

i thought motor mount is only for swap engine... well iono im a newb excuse my ignorants ... iono if my motor mount is still good I never really pay attention to it. But i will check it out tomorrow....... but i dont think motor mount is what causes my motor to shake like that.......... still a possibility though

That's why Honda built rev limiters into the programming of all their ECU's since the introduction of PGM-FI, for people like you who "forget" to shift. You can't overrev with your stock ECU. Any RPM you're at at any time in your car, your safe. Now street racing on the other hand, you're never safe... be it from cops or killing yourself/others.

Poeple like you need to not be racing on the street. Forget to shift doh. Haha how did you expect to beat him when you dont even know your car, where to shift to stay in your optimal power range, and wtf all engines have engine mounts, haha maybe you should learn a little before you come on here posting such newbish questions.

Way to, most likely, break a motor mount, hope you lost the race. Maybe your engine will fall out, since in your opinion, it has no mounts, and you won't be on the street driving. You need to stop being a 16 year old, and learn that racing is for people that can drive, and also on a track/strip. Hope your motor is blown. . .

could be motor mount or exhaust mount.

Mr si99

gosh im here to ask for help not critizism... though a little critizism would wake me up to but still try to be more sincere about it. Im worry about my car and worry if i bent a valve or not but all ya do is critisize try to show a little more concern about a newbiesh car for goodness sake............ so you think its the motor mount? or exhaust mount? honestly my exhause been shaking a lot ever since i change from stock to a dc header plus i got a gay duel exhaust too

sicky

Not to poor out more criticism, let's learn to spell, and mabye some grammar lessons to go with it too.

Now we don't even have to criticize, you're making fun of yourself....

supaman111

ignore the fools, yeh sounds like exhaust mounts or engine mounts. Don't think it will be valves. Engines cause different levels of vibrations at different revs, at idle an engine shakes more and has a huge shock when you hit the limiter. You should see how much an engine moves on a rolling road when you hit the limiter.

Mr si99

thanks supman111 your not like some of these dicks who can't help without critisizing or can't help at all so iono why they're posting their stupid opinion that doesn't have nothing to do with the topic. Yea but anyways appreciate your help I will check it out in a day or two and have a friend who build motors to help me out to see what the problem is.

do u really need one of those 5" tachs that glows and a 1 1/2" dia shift lights to shift gears?

b18blackek

sounds like ur have an idle prob now? ill have the motor compression tested, maybe bent valve, but dont u got a rev limiter?
