Thread: What did I do?

I was merging on to the highway and I had my foot to the floor, and when I let off the gas pedal was stuck under my floor mat. So I had to hold the brake then throw it into neutral, but when i threw it in neutral it revved up to around 6500 RPM for a few seconds until I could get the gas pedal loose.

I took it easy the rest of the way home praying that nothing went wrong. I decided to do a half throttle acceleration, and there was a very slight chugging feeling (almost barely noticeable, but just enough to feel it.) I went full throttle and there was no chugging feeling...

What could of went wrong.. Please help

What can I look at for signs of damage.

you could have floated a valve.

But it doesnt sound like it.

Normally that results in loud unwanted noises.

I forgot to say it idles fine and there is no CEL. And no loud noises lol

I will look at my plugs, almost time for replacement anyway.

Wouldnt a fouled plug make the car idle rough and sputter on hard acceleration?

Odd looking at my will tune.

Car should stopped at 5000 in neutral.

Oh wait... I remember now, the drive rev limiter applies when its moving in neutral.

Don't ask me why...

You sure you're not just being paranoid? Stock spark cutoff in neutral is there to prevent engine damage unless something else was about to let go.

Ya I was going to say, I never thought that it would rev that high. It was probably closer to 7000rpms now that I think about it. But I know my tach is a bit off, and i wasnt looking at my scangauge.

I am probably being a little paranoid. I just never noticed the slight chugging before. Who knows it could have been my tires or something, I was going up a hill and it was pouring rain out.

and give up power steering and power brakes (after 2-3 applications that is)?

It was a joke.

Most times when someone has a failed serp belt they sound something like, "OMG I HAD NO POWER STEERING OMGOMGOGMGOMGOGMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOOGMGOM".
