Paased a car up,and got to about 85mph with pedal full throttle.Car engine died all cluster lights came,and wont crank over even with a jump.Lights,radio work.
My car has 54000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
It is possible that some engine damage may have occurred when this happened. Full Throttle is typically not recommended on many vehicles as it can cause the engine to Red Line. I would recommend having your vehicle inspected by a qualified professional in order to determine the exact cause of this issue.
