hello honda tech...the other day i was racing my friend and when i was on 3rd instead of putting into 4th i threw in to 2nd and over reved it..now my car is telling me theres a misfire on cylinder 2 and 4..what do i do???
-someone told me to change the distributor?

 

what happend? my wild *** guess is bent valves. start with a compression test, if that checks we'll go from there. make sure you disconnect your distributor before you do a compression test.

 

A compression test is definitly needed. How over revved was it? Way off the tach or what?

 

yea i super redlined:/ do you know the compression level for the cylinders
i have the compression tester.

 

don't street race....Now your car is broken.

 

doesn't even matter if you do it cold, you're looking for the numbers being out of wack. 180ish is normal warm, cold it's less. if you see one cylinder 50psi down or more you have problems.

 

okay thanks for the info..ill give it a test tomorow.

 

Yeah, but we've all done it. He just wants help.

I've done this twice without any damage. THE MONEY SHIFT.

 

you lucky-duck. I did it and redlined @ 9k or so. After that it sounded sorta like a subaru at idle. 3rd cyl had low comp. Luckly this was during winter break and I had the time to fix/rebuild my motor.
A dude I raced did the same thing and his 3rd cyl had ZERO comp.
Nevertheless honda's are easy/fun/and cheap to rebuild. I learned a lot.

 

If you never break anything you will never learn how to fix it.

 

Hey paul walker, learn to drive before you race.

 

Lmao!^


Sucks for the OP tho. Did he ever do the compression test?

 

did that once but more worse, missed third and went into 1st!! horrible!!

 

Your trans shouldn't have been able to do that, your trans is probly ****ed also

 

? The tranny should have locked you out of going into first.


OP, needs compression numbers asap...

 

im sure they will have some of us err you people that money shift

You pull the head and replace the bent exhaust valves. If you are 96+, pull the codes. Expect to see 71, 72, 73, or 74.

 

Fixed

 

damn. im gonna have to try that.

 

I sure am glad this has never happende to me .stop granny shifting and start double clutching like you should











just kidding make sure you do the compression check as mentioned above.You might have bent valves

 

Was it.....






OVER 9000!!!

 

never done it. had bros that did, bent valves were the outcome

 

thanks, I meant that too...

 

Lol I'm waiting for one of the village idiots to come in and say he'll be fine cause they "rev to 10k on the street poppin mad vtec yO!"

 

same thing happened to me, bent about three valves lol, rebuilt the head and presto! gsr was running meaner then ever ..and if you rebuild the head...get dual vavle springs, will help incase it happens again.
