HEY GUYS IM A NEW USER HERE.
MY BEAST IS A 2003 CIVIC SI.
AND JUST HAD A QUESTION.


LAST NIGHT I WAS ON THE FREEWAY GOING BACK HOME AND I STARTED ON THE FREEWAY RIGHT. THEN WHEN I WAS GOIN ON SECOND GEAR AT ABOUT 5000 RPMS I TRIED TO SHIFT INTO 4TH GEAR BUT I SHIFTED INTO 2ND GEAR BY MISTAKE AND THE CAR MADE THIS SUDDEN PULLBACK AND THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE OIL CAP BLEW OFF AND NOW THE CAR WONT START.

I SWAPPED THE REMAINS OF THE OIL CAP FROM THE SOCKET AND I PUT A NEW ONE IN THERE THINKING IT WAS GONNA START UP BUT THE CAR WONT START FOR NOTHING.

WAT COULD BE WRONG WITH MY CAR??

WHEN I TURN THE IGNITION ON THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON BUT THEN AFTER ABOUT 10 SECONDS IT TURNS OFF AND ONLY THE BATTERY AND LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHTS STAY ON.



I HOPE IS NOT DEAD

IF U GUYS GOT ANY ADVICE IT WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

I've never heard of an oil filler cap blowing off.

You probably damaged the engine internally. My best guess is bent valves due to valve float or skipped timing chain teeth. It would be a good idea to run a compression test and check the cam timing.

Read the diagnostic trouble codes from the computer to determine what caused the Check Engine light to come on.

 

better do a compression test... bent valves probably

 

thanks guys for ur opinions. :D

how much do u think it costs to do that diagnostic thing?

like an estimate?

would it be better just to swap another engine onto the tranny? cuz the transmission is fine.

i was a guy at the gas station that has the same car as me and he told me that i probably cracked the engine and that the engine is about 1000 bucks.

please reply back to see what u guys think.

thanks ur help is appreciated.

k-series :D

 

Let's stay away from that guy at the gas station!

As mentioned earlier, get a compression check done ASAP... since you can't drive it either have it towed to a mechanic that's familiar with Honda's or go to autozone and rent a compression tool and google how to use it.

 

might have spun his bearings if low oil pressure light is still on.

 

HEY GUYS GOOD MORNING.

LOL YEA HUH NO MORE ADVICE FROM THE GAS STATION GUY LOL

THANKS TO EMPATHY AND saxqtzk FOR THEIR ADVICE.

I WENT TO THE AUTOZONE WEBSITE AND I FOUND THIS TESTER...



IS THIS A GOOD ONE TO USE?

I WILL GET MONEY ON THURSDAY SO I WILL DO THE TEST THAT DAY.

MEAN WHILE ILL JUST CLEAN THE OIL FROM THE ENGINE CUZ THERE IS OIL EVERYWHERE.

ILL KEEP U GUYS POSTED TO C WHAT ARE THE RESULTS FROM THE COMPRESSION TEST.

THANKS AGAIN.

Dude, lose the ALL CAPS please

 

does it hurt ur eyes or wat lol ^^^^^

 

it's annoying. please type in the normal font, color, and size unless you're using it as a form of rhetoric. it would also help if you wrote your posts in proper english. periods were invented for a reason.

 

If all else fails...DC5 Integra Type-R motor 3500 on ebay 220HP 8900RPM Redline

 

Its called freestyle typing homo!

 

I'm just sayin' this isn't AIM. It makes people not want to take you seriously. Do what you want dude.

 

I would inspect the timing belt before even trying to turn the engine.

 

Bwahahahahaha. This entire thread made me LOL.

Can you please move this to GDD now? ktxhbai

 

seriously rofl!

 

post comments if u gonna help out. if not then u can go post comments somewhere else.

k-series :D

 

Man, you're already treating this like GDD. K series engines don't have timing belts

 

Cam chain then. Chains can break. I was so disoriented by the initial screen door...

 

Do u guys think that maybe by swapping another caM gears and settin up the right timing will help out with this mess...

 

Fixed and cam gears would be the last thing I would look at if I over-revved my engine.

 

Timing chain, pull plugs and inspect, valve train (any valves way out of adjustment), valves (compression leakdown), ...

 

ill will put all my money on a bent valve pull the head and have it pressure tested if the valve isnt setting in your cyl. haha

 

ep4life. thanks for ur help. im gonna do that this weekend when i get money cuz broke right now. lol

 

Any other ideas u guys?? I downshifted at about 5000 rpms and suddently the car pulled back and i heard a pop. Thats when the oil cap blew up and the car just stopped.
