2013 Acura ILX - 65,000 miles
Driving down the highway, 75mph or so in 6th gear (manual transmission) on Saturday the engine started misfiring and the emissions warning light came on. First time it happened I pulled over, restarted the car, everything seemed to go fine as I shifted up to 6th and drove a couple miles, then it happened again. This time every light I can think of came on, ABS, VSA, emissions, hill start assist, etc. Pulled over, restarted, misfiring on idle. Exited the highway got it towed to the dealership.
Got word this morning that it failed a compression test last night. Acura service manager (same dealership I bought the car from) is saying it could be an over-rev, that's the only thing he can think of that would have caused this damage. Obviously it's not an over-rev situation because I was going 75 in 6th gear for 5-10 miles just prior to the failure. Anybody have another reason this could've happened?
He's escalated it up the Acura chain to see what Acura wants to do, but I think we can all guess what Acura wants to do. I would like another thing to check for if anyone's got something. I'll also take it somewhere else to get a second opinion.
Thanks in advance!
