So I was bored and i was on my way home, and there sits an empty parking lot, so i poull in its about 1 at night no one out, and I do my donuts and leave, while driving it seems like my tranny just failed and seems like the engine lost like half of its power I think my engine may be damaged, and my service engine light is on. do any of you know what it might be?

 

That's your impending fail at life.. get ready in 3.. 2...

 

Sounds like limp mode or something... you turn off your car and start it up again? You get any warning lights on the dash? You manual or auto?

 

i turned it off and on like 8 times, let it cool off, still samet thing its an manual!

 

Hmmmm something sounds majorly screwed there... Will it not rev above like 1000 RPM? You check the engine bay?

Guys are probably gonna give you crap though for doing donuts in a parking lot at 1 in the morning, hope you didnt wake anyone up in houses nearby...

You might try the ECU reset procedure...

 

no it was in the dessert not a home near by within 10 miles, why do i have to tell them i was doing donuts?

 

oh and yeah itll go past 1k rpm it drives sort of okay now its been a while now but still the lights on and still just doesnt seem like my Z

 

I'm not familiar with how to drive a donut, but from what I've seen it's a LOT of stress on the engine and drivetrain, or at least I'd imagine.

Do you do this kind of stuff often? If so, the wear and tear might be expected. If this only just started recently and you drive at an easy pace most of the time, it sounds like a defect in your car, in which case you may want to take it to a shop or trusted dealer for an inspection and a repair quote.

 

maybe you got dirt in the flux capacitor?












... reset the ecu and get back to us.
