You hit the double throttle limitation built-in to protect the motor from dumbass actions. Your oil pressure was high because the car was cold.

Advice - stop being a dumbass and flooring your car while dead cold.

You didn't mention anything about an oil leak or smoke in your first post.

It would be a lot easier to read your posts also if you actually used some kind of grammatical structure. Separating random thoughts by a few periods makes it difficult to read and then less people want to take the time to help.

So start over. Describe the car's symptoms before and after the cold WOT incident and try to make it easy to read.

Man, I was trying NOT to be mean. I guess communication over the internet is still lacking.

oh come on guys... compression test? seriously? these engines are not built out of paper ya know. Besides he didn't say one single symptom that would require a compression test. He is just low on power that's it.

I think hes got a boost issue that just happen to occur when he WOT at cold. That's it.


fd3s.fc3s,
If you don't have a boost gauge then get one. If you do: it would really help us to diagnose if we knew your boost pattern.

yes but if he wants to know the answer right away, you get a compression check. i thought the question was if he blew his motor already, the compression check is the most definitive way to find out if your motor is blown.

I always wonder how people who can't write a proper sentence are able to get a job which enables them to pay for these cars in the first place.

His parents and school were suppose to teach him to think. We are here to teach rotary, not babysit!

You do not get on the throttle with any cold engine car if you want it to live long.

I always find it funny when others make fun of people's grammer/sentence structure when they fail to do either properly themselves. Next time, don't be so quick to judge when your writing is just as poor.
