Well i raced a 3rd gen eclipse... when i took off it guess i was on ice and i red lined in 1st and 2nd and when i got off the ice my car was running really weird and it would not pull very hard then i got to a stop and it had a really rough idle and idled at like 500 rpm and it i gave it some gas it would go to 3k... I don't know what is wrong. does anyone know?

How the hell did you redline both gears? After redlining first and realizing your on ice, common sense should intervene and say don't floor it anymore. More description is necessary to help you though.

actually common sense would be to not street race in the fucking ice. Get a fucking clue.

Here, I'll even be nice and give some advice:

ONLY street race if conditions are absolutely perfect. That means well lit, no traffic, good weather, empty streets, and roads you know.

I'm getting to be too nice to the newbs.

Check your MAF,EGR, Idle control and o2 sensors.One of them may be bad.

How do you check the 02 sensor?

Well you cant really check it unless you have a machine to do it.Take it to autozone or a parts house and ask them to run a sensor check on it.Its free and fast.
