I recently bought a s2k last week. Its a 2003 and it has 24,000 miles on it. Well today when i was leaving work i was pulling out into traffic so i got on it alittle bit and it felt a little sluggish and i was thinking WTF, Then the vtec didnt kick in and right at about 7500 or 7400 the engine boged down and made a weird noise (sounded like missing a gear or grinding the shit out of one) but i wasnt shifting or had the clutch in. So i let off and slowed down. I stop the car and took off again same thing happen so i drove it to my mechanic and when i took him in it....nothing happen of course. and it hasnt happen since but any ideas WTF happen???

 

If the car wasn't warmed up past 2 bars on teh temp guage it shuts it down. I needs to be warm to run in vtec safely. I've done it a few times on mistake. Let it warm up and it should be fine.

 

Yeah don't beat on your car til it's warmed up.

 

Maybe check oil too...I'm pretty sure they have a safety that doesn't engage vtec without proper oil pressure. +1000 about not beating on a motor until fully warm.
