So it snowed today and I spun a 180 and started sliding backwards in first gear going about 2-5 mph. Then I put in the clutch and once I was done sliding then my car's idle would jump from 200 to 1200 then it died. It wouldn't crank over for about 5 minutes. Finally I got it to start, it smelt like gasoline but now it runs fine and the ses light is on. Anyone Care to give me some information. Thanks

 

Bump please?

 

doesn't sound like your tranny...

 

Go to your local autozone and get the code pulled. See what the code is. Report back to us what the code is. then we will be able to help you further.

 

I remember hearing a couple horror stories from my old twin turbo Z days of cars that had spun the motor backwards. Basically, the mechanical oil pump will destroy itself if spun backwards. Then, your engine will quickly kill itself w/out any oil. I have NO IDEA is this is related to your problem, or even possible on a 4G63 motor.. just sharing some thoughts. I'd get the code checked asap though. I doubt it has anything to do with your trannie.

 

Let us know as soon as you identify the problem. Good luck too you.
