The only damage is to your pride. Don't worry about it, but don't do it again.

================================

You didn't rev it HIGH ENOUGH, if you didnt' feel it start sputtering when the computer automatically cuts the spark.

No worry. Hondas like to be revved. :-)

Thanks Curly, that was an interesting piece of info. I didn't even realize RPM overages were regulated by the computer. So its not possible to redline a CR-V 2004? Please tell me more about Honda engines and revving..

Thanks

Some of the newest Hondas won't even let you hit 4,000 RPM if you're in neutral or park. Pilot, I think. The computer just kills the INJECTORS to bring the revs back down. I think I was wrong when I said spark previously. Lots of people around here know more about this interesting 'feature'.

I know my '97 and '00 CR-V's both kill the injectors when coasting. You can see the tach almost hit 300 RPM before it fires back up. Manual tranny models may be a bit different.

Sure it's possible to overrev....go to redline in second and downshift to first. The computer cannot stop the engine from being 'mechanically' overreved.

Huntley can do that, (since he has a manual tranny) but the automatic version of the CR-V won't let the tranny shift down when it's close to redline. The manual says you can flip the lever but the tranny won't downshift until you slow down to an appropriate speed. Fairly idiot-proof.
