Well I got back from Nopi last night and my car wasnt doing to good (possible clutch burn up. atleast thats what I thought). I ended up racing a Type R Teg on I 75 and he waxed me really bad... so when i pulled off to see whats up with my car, I noticed that it was running really rough..(low bumby idle, and trying to stall). Well I make all the way back to Jacksonville and my check engine light comes on, but the car doesnt feel that different driving, just when idling its rough.. I go to Acura today to find out whats up and they said the computer was coming back as a misfiring cylinder...(OH ****) well im going back in a couple of days and leaving the car for the day to see whats up...

Does anyone have any clue what is up with my teg?

 

maybe u bent a valve? not sure...sorry.

 

That sounds pretty reasonable...any one know if thats under warranty? What are some possible ways to bend a valve(s)?

 

reving to high

 

Yeah after more driving today I noticed the clicking noise more and also the tach is dipping really low at idle... How can the dealership tell if this was caused by high reving and not just normal everyday driving... Im asking because I really need for this to be under warranty... I read somewhere about "floating the valves" and a mechanic will be able to tell what happend... can anyone with some experience with this explain it to me?

 

IT should be covered under warranty. Not sure how to check though as to what the problem is.

 

Well ive doing more research and I do believe that I have bent the valves from over reving....Ill find out tomorrow what is actually wrong... does anyone know how hard it is to replace the valves.... Im not a mechanic but I do have some mechanic capabilities....

 

Let me first say that this board is the best thing for when i have car problems or questions... YOU GUYS and GIRLS really have helped me out.... Well i talked to the dealership today and yea I dropped a valve and one of my cylinders was not firing... (bad news) the good news is that its already been sent off for repairs and the warranty will apply (THANK YOU CAR GODS) I thought i was going to have to pawn some stuff off... But once again thanks for everyone's imput..
