Something wrong with your tranny?

Jeager

no not a bad tranny...
Some one told me that if the engine isnt warmed up enough that the engine will cut fuel. which this is possible because the car had not been on that long.

What! You should NEVER go anywhere near redline when your car isn't fully warmed up! Sheesh!

Exactly. Don't do it!

fuel starvation?? how much gas did you have?

Either the engine was cold or you are really low on oil. I'd guess you're low on oil.

You're just a little low on oil, happens to me all the time when i run it a little bit low. The engine will cut fuel intermittently.

or how about the fact since VTEC runs off of oil pressure, if he was low enough, there wasn't sufficient pressure to trigger/activate VTEC, a nifty failsafe hmm? Also, please don't push your car before it's warmed up, it pains me to read such things.
