also, went to mexico last night and missed 4th (idk how, dont ask) and is sounded like i bounced off the rev limiter. but my rev limiter was disabled. i think i was just hitting the pcms rev limit. could this cause any damage? ran fine all the way home and even got another run since then. it just started this morning when i fired it up to go to work

Literally a few seconds like 1,2,3,dead? I swapped a **** load of opti's, coils, stuff like that when mine did this turned out to be my ghetto wiring that goes to the icm/coil. Next time it starts try poking those wires and see if it dies. Btw, do you mean mexico mexico or miami's mexico?

Since he's in Houston, I would assume he's talking about the country of Mexico. Still a pretty good drive from Houston to the boarder though.

I only use mobile hence why I ask. The reason I ask is cause there's a spot down here called mexico were people often miss gears aka racing. So its not that strange of a question to simply answer.
