Hey guys while driving my car pretty hard today i missed shifted from 3rd to 2nd for a split second but pressed the clutch back in right away but after that the CEL started blinking and now the car vibrates at idle and kind of sounds like a v8, did i bend a rod? Also i had no choice but to drive it home, it drives fine but idles horrible, is there any way to find out besides taking it apart?

What's the CEL Code - that's what we need.

how long is a split second, did you depress the clutch completely? or did it just rev really high and you pressed it back in quickly? Basically we need more Details.

The Code is going to be the best starting point.

yeah but i cant seem to find a paper clip in the entire house to try and jump the pin.

doesn't sound good based on your rough idle. probably toast.

autozone pulls the code for free

Checker/Schucks/Kragen will let your rent the tool for free and you can take it home. That way you don't have to drive the car to the store.

good info skibum.

Closing thread now since there is the same one going on in S2000 Talk. Not like he's listening to them anyway.

GL Hope its not toast.
