yesterday I was kinda racing with my friend ~ he got a levin anyway.... but something went one when I chucked it into second gear ~ the warning light came on like the orange engine icon and after maybe 1 sec all the lights came on , and my speedo light went dim ~ it stalled...... I was a bit WTF happened the first time , I thought you only stall the engine if you put the car to a stop without getting the clutch out ~ but my car was still on the roll..... but then I was told that if you change the gear too fast and if the timing of releasing the clutch with the power isnt right it will stall the engine even if its still on the roll ~ is that true ? or something wrong with my car

btw I keep on getting the random engine warning light coming on ~ and off.... what is the best way to fix that.

jump the two terminals(as stated on mkiv.com) to read the codes that the ECU is throwing.

If you figured out why the warning light is coming on it will probobly explain the stalling..
