Default Had a false alarm today.

So I was in a bad mood when I left work and thought i'd let the boss know about it. I had it in 1st pulled out and let her rip, squealed the tires, shifted into 2nd, barked the tires. I was still in 2nd and heading up to a blind curve I had been accelerating the whole way and was at about 4800 rpm. When I let off the throttle (to slow down so I could stay in my lane around the curve and just incase slow down a bit incase their was law enforcement on the other side; 65+ in a 35 not good) it backfied, it backfired A LOT. Nothing new there. (no muffler)

However when I went to get back on it from about 2000 rpm, it didn't want to go, it didn't want to go at all. So I let off, shifted into drive and eased into it and it went. Now at the time I was a bit in panic mode(oh I hurt my truck) I was thinking I had cooked my trans or something. I got home and didn't worry about it as I really wanted a shower and a meal. After those I went outside and went for a test drive, no problems at all. That's when I thought to check for DTCs. I didn't write it down because I figured it was an abuse code but it was a o2 bank 2 too rich code...... Not near as worried now as I was about an hour ago.....
