this afternoon a new shelby pulled up next to me and wanted to race so we did well he was staying right there i must have gotten nervous because when i went for 5th i hit reverse the car just died. I slowed down started the car, but i noticed a slight shake, i was only 5miles from home so i kept going got home the check engine light was on.
i have a scan gauge and it said p0300? and i can smell fuel when i rev it up, i reset the pcm like i read on a few fourms and did nothing, checked plugs they seem good. I have new set of msd wires on the car 2 months old i am stumped any help?

Did you over rev the **** out of it?

BoostedBird

121,000 and it hit the rev limiter once. I cleared the code now the light flashes at a idle and as soon as I rev it up it goes away u can feel a misfire but motor makes no bad noise and oil looks good . I'm hoping the internals are all still good should find out tomarow taking it to gm

So you actually got it into reverse from the top of fourth?

BoostedBird

Well it was 2 blown msd coils and it went into reverse hole but my foot never left clutch and car died

MSD coils? I have heard they aren't very reliable.

Bent pushrods, maybe a failed lifter?

When my lifter failed it felt like a misfire. Was hoping a plug wire just popped off....not the case.

I'm amazed you got it it Reverse. Guess you dont have your reverse lockout switch hooked up? Or is that another 04 downfall?
