I was driving home tonite on the highway (>5000 rpm) and I felt the car hesitating heavily. I assumed it was my clutch seeing its almost time for it to be replaced (stock clutch that was beaten on pretty bad). The next thing I know the check engine light comes on and the car won't rev over 5K. The car has roughly 40,000 miles with an intake or exhaust. Any ideas?

 

pull the code, see what it says. And no your engine won't throw a code for a worn out clutch.

 

You my friend, are in limp mode...

CEL must be serious.. we will need the code to help ya.

 

Are you pulling a CCL (check clutch lite hehe)

 

Thanks, I checked and found it was code 22. Oh well time to take it back to local Acura dealership....

 

On a side note, the clutch would never cause engine hesitation.

At least, I can't think of any way it would.

If your clutch was worn, you would notice it during launches or shifts, but not just driving down the road.
