PLEASE HELP, my fit died at 15,xxx miles
#41
I have a 2011 Fit base model 5spd. with 15,xxx miles. I was running late for work today so i was driving the car hard (bringing it to redline). My commute to work is about 1/2 mile of city streets and 8-10 miles on the highway. When i was entering onto the highway i shifted 1st, 2nd, 3rd to red line, then shifted to 4th and brought my speed up to 80mph where i then shifted to 5th to set my cruise control at 80mph. well before i had time to switch to cruise control my car started to sputter, lose power and die while i was in 5th gear. i turned my hazards on and pulled over. I waited ~5minutes and started the car back up, my check engine light is now on but the car seems to run fine. I am extremely nervous now and i bought this car for fun reliable transportation to have fun with also. my only mod is lyon's diy intake. i ended being late for work, we have a strict policy for tardiness and my boss told me i am probably fired now. all thanks to the fit. please help.
Check your OBDII codes; many auto parts places will do it for nothing.At least that should tell you what fault occurred and there are a lot if you were running hard.

Ijust bought a Takeda CAI, so all is good now, except my check engine light keeps coming on once a week. I just keep resetting the battery so i don't have to look at the light all the time when I'm driving. The car runs fine now. The light still worries me though...
