Check engine light flashes during high reving - Toyota Yaris Forums

How and why were your rpms over 6,000? That's just asking for trouble. If someone's on your rear, let them pass, pull over, and just slow down. Just my opinion.

a flashing check engine light usually indicates a dangerous misfire is occuring. sometimes depends on how many cylinders are misfireing etc. if it stays on afterwards then there is definitly a problem. bring it to the dealership next time it comes on (dont delete it). just dont tell them you were reving the shit outta it

. it also could be a cat restriction or a/f sensor reading incorrectly and putting too much air in the engine at high rpm. etc etc etc. just remember the ecu records rpm at the time the DTC is set. isnt there a TSB for our cats having an egg smell? if so maybe your cats defective, rsx's have the same TSB . if your cat is "too" hot it can cause problems at hi rpm esp.

Not true....you can keep your Yaris at 6,000 RPGM all day long...the engine is nearly bullet proof, and it will take a beating plus more....that engine will not blow up at high RPM...it will last 300,000 miles of abusive use so long as it is maintained properly....no need to baby your Yaris...drive the hell out of it, if you must....it will not hurt it.

Or.... Rev to 6K and then slide your foot counterclockwise off the clutch.

If you have an A/T like me.... 6K while in neutral, and when you think the traffic light will turn green, drop that bitch in drive and hold on..

I doubt you've seen it many times....who and why would anyone downshift from 4th to 1st gear? I doubt the manual tranny would let you do it even if you wanted to....
