ok so i was cruising home from work and enjoying my ride and i guess i got bored so i decided hey, why not try out cruise control. alright, so i'm doing 50 or so in 5th and i decide to let the car coast. i put it in neutral and its a long empty block ahead. so i'm messing around with the cruise control and i see the green cruise button. i'm moving it up and down and nothing happens. i'm like okay.. lets try again. this time i move it up and i hold it there. nothing...
...UNTIL two seconds later, my rpms go up its reving by itself and goes all the way up to redline. at this moment i was freaking out cuz it bounced off the rev limiter once and dropped back down (keep in mind that i'm only at 500 miles into the motor). i took off cruise control and drove off to park somewhere. now i was really scared something may have happened to my car. i turned the car off and parked for about 5 mins cooling off and trying to relax myself. i finally calmed down and started the car..ok everything sounds fine, feels fine, so i drive home very very easy. i get home, park, and stop the car but i didnt shut off the engine. i sat there listening to the engine popped up the hood to see if anything was wrong. (besides it being loud to me -- check my other thread --) everything seemed fine, maybe sounded a little louder, but could just be all in my head.
so anyways, what i'm wonderin is, did i harm my baby? i didnt mean to put it through that abuse. you think IF something serious went wrong i can bring it to the dealer under warranty or something. . maybe i shouldn't have made my first BRAND NEW car a stick shift. i'm still jerking the car every so often and riding the clutch quite a bit, especially on first.. still dont get smooth shifts. arghh.. i'm so pissed
