I think i did something bad =/

[gregk24]

Sorry for all the questions guys, but i know you are all knowledgeable thats why i come here. Just about 10 minutes ago i was testing to see if my car had the feature where if you floor the gas peddle when starting your car the fuel cuts out...well turns out my car doesnt have that feature and it revved to 4,000 rpm!!

The engine was already warmed up prior to doing this, but had been sitting for about 5 minutes, i floored the gas upon start up and it immediately shot up to 4k. I know this wasnt good...but was it bad? would this cause any damage? thanks again!

 

[stephen9666]

I would bet $1,000* that you did no damage and will never notice any ill effects. While it's not great to do that, it would take doing it many, many times to cause any real harm, IMO.





*Not an actual bet.

Revving up a warm engine is bad for it?

Running it to the redline, sure, but 4 grand isn't a big deal.

Kids do that in parking lots across America all the time with no ill effect and the car lasts at least up until they crash it trying to drift infront of chicks.

What is the redline on the engine? If you did not exceed that, then I would doubt you did any real damage.

I know revving a warm engine isnt that bad....its just the fact that my foot was too the floor when i was starting it and as soon as the starter caught, that thing revved up!!! im just concerned there was no oil pressure when it revved, doesnt it take 1-2-3 seconds or so to get oil pressure???? i know thats not long, but it was revved to for even before 1 second! thats what im worried about, the lack of oil pressure

Are you sure you aren't CarNOOOOBIE reincarinated?
I think you need to check your common sense before you attempt something like that.
How old are you, 16?
Trashing it for the sake of trashing it does not do you any favors.
I'm worried about the LACK of common sense here.

Just for the sake of wondering, I wonder if your car has a run fine with no oil in it feature. Just for the sake of wondering I'm wondering if your car has the run with zero coolant feature. I'm kinda curious how long it will run. Kid, Give mamma back her car

 

[RiceCake]

Revving your engine with no load on it after its recently been run is hardly a concern. The surfaces are probably coated with more then enough oil to satisfy things.

Edit: Wow, this guy is CarNoobie 2.0, looking at his previous posts.

How long until he posts fifty times about needing to fix this?

No this is not "mamas car", dont automatically assume im some teenage punk. im 38 years old, i have no idea who car noobie is. Its so when you change the oil you can crank it over without putting load on it by cutting fuel supply to get the oil pressure up. Just a simple question, i know im not as knowledgeable as you guys, if i knew the answer i wouldnt have asked the question. please dont insult me by saying im 16 years old and rodding around in my moms car. get real.

Your going to get [censored] if you ask questions like that......they were a little harsh but do think a little ask yourself a couple questions. Was it warm if so oil is through out the engine.... your engine redlines well above 4, 000 so didn't stress anything there. So now you have the question of as starting a boom 4, 000 grand well obviously that isn't a optimal thing to do but 1 time wont hurt it heck 50 times wouldn't. So use a little knowledge and common sense to do some reasoning before asking a question like this otherwise you'll get flack everytime.

No,no ones trying to to insult you.. sorry from me , anyway if it helps ..it's just that this guy by the name of carnoobie was instrumental in his ways of defeating himself on many levels.No matter how much good advice he was given.
This of course has nothing to do with you and don't take it that way, there's a great bunch of guys here on bitog and most will bend over backwards to help out.
Take a look at some posts familiarize yourself with the type of shouldering we give one another and worry not.... we just hear alot of the same old and sometimes give a gut reaction,that's all.

It's a fuel defeat procedure for flooded engines ..I'm not even sure if it's still in production that way.

Carb'd engines had this feature and it progressed into earlier FI setups but that's the last I've heard about it. I think my '94 F-150 (300 I-6)had this but I certainly never had to use it.

yepp! i know our silverado does it. it just cuts fuel supply so you can crank the engine over without any load from the cylinders firing. someone said to do this after an oil change to get the oil flowing and get the pressure up then let off the gas and it will fire up and already have oil pressure.

No, the system is primed and there is plenty of oil already on bearings to suffice until the oil starts flowing, 1-2 seconds at most.
Now, if it was stone cold on a winter morning there might be cause for concern.

If you really want something to keep you up nights think about the first start up with a dry new filter after an oil change.

 

[crazyoildude]

no damage done at all as long as there was oil in there

 

[SIXSPEED]

I tried that a few years ago with my 97 Accord because my 07 Mustang can be cranked without starting while the gas is planted. Well the motor started and rev'ed to some high RPM before I let off the gas. I still drive the Accord daily and it's got over 160K miles on the odometer. I think your motor is fine.

@OP:

I know you found new joy and enthusiasm in BITOG (since you joined), but please take my advice and don't go overboard on things.

Take it slow and learn the mistakes some of us made in the past so that you don't have to.

Also: there are armchair scientists and make-believe mechs here on BITOG. Some do have genuine intentions of helping someone (in-need) but some do not. There are some that can't even " walk da walk" and "talk da talk" but pretended to be....and may make irrational recommendations to noobies so that noobs can become their guinea-pigs (so that they don't have to).

Sit down, relax, and read up on all the older postings and such...you'll become wiser as time goes by and shall be able to make informed decisions thereafter.
