Overidle at the top of second gear

August 29, 2011, 07:36:32 PM

Whenever I am going through the gears and hit second at the top of second gear about high 5000s it overidles and hits off the rev limiter a couple times.

Does anyone know whats going on?

my guess would be overboost, is the stock boost control solenoid still in place?

nope I have a gillis valve. Check engine light blinked a couple times after it happened but stopped since. Boost has been at 18 for quite some time now with no probs. I guess I will turn it down

I'm positive it's my clutch slipping now. I had a feeling it wasn't holding down the power at high rpm months ago when I ran slower track times. Now I think it's finally letting go. At my HP level I should be throwing down low 14s
