I know I can get data logs off my old car, which used Bosch's ME-Motronic 7.1 engine management systems. I also had a MANUFACTURER SPECIFIC scan too that was able to interface with the cars onboard systems, and the dealership knew that I had them. When I brought the car into the dealership, *I* told them what the problem was, and what I wanted them to do to fix it. I was never denied warranty coverage in the time that I had that car.
You can also erase the ECM memory with most MANUFACTURER SPECIFIC scan tools. The others are just OBDII, and that's absolute garbage.
My old scan tool:
VAS 5052

BBB is pis-ant stuff. Go straight to the State Capital State's Attorney or Consumer affairs departments - they can refer you - I had good luck in Virginia - they went down and asked questions and took names, and just having a state govt official down there spooked Mitsucrapshi into fixing the leaking tranny on my GSX.

I checked my AutoXray 6000 which is pretty much a State of the Art device, and it has no prvosion to do this.

I have a question. If the car was going fast enough to cause a mechanical over-rev to 15K RPMs, wouldn't the rapid engine braking lock up the wheels and send the car off the road? If you downshift without rev-matching, you get a little jolt. I would imagine this would be rather violent.

Ok, I have a question. I was under the impression that the car has a rev limiter. There fore making it impossible to over rev the car. The only way to do this would be to miss a downshift , which he claims he did not do. Therefore it makes it virtually impossible to over rev the car to 15,000 rpm or am i missing something?
