Did I damage My engine die to over reving?

So yesterday i was driving and accidently pulled out infront of someone and downshifted and hit my redline 6000 rpm and the truck drove normal after that for 10 miles. I got home turned it off and went inside. Later that night i went outside and started it and it started to miss really bad and idle rough. Once i get it past 2000 rpm it runs normal. 2001 Ford Ranger 2.3 I4

Was gonna guess that it jumped timing… But that doesn't account for it running normal for 10 miles.

No check engine light, I presume. All that points to the EGR valve possibly sticking open. It opened a lot during the zoom and may not have closed completely. The way to tell is to remove it (not usually a hard job) and visually inspect it.

Currently has borla pro xs muffers in, but wanting it louder. Was told if I do put them in to have the car tuned. Is a tune needed? And if so what do you think the cost would be.
  • Why did my car start and die when put into gear? Now it won't start at all? It's a cold winter day (below zero) Car started right up! I let it run for about 2 minutes, I put it in gear and it just died. I figured it's cold out, not real surprising, but when I tried to start it again, it won't start! Turns over fine but engie won't start! Any ideas? 2003 Ford Taurus 3.0L
  • Can you damage your car engine by changing the oil at every 3,000 miles? The Ford dealer service advisors said that it could destroy the new engine by putting too much clean fluid in it. He advises every 10,000 miles between oil changes. I have a prepaid service plan. 2018 Ford Fusion
  • Why did my battery die after 3 days of not using the car? It's a 2006 Ford Explorer 4.0 v6 engine. I drove it to auto zone after jump starting it and leaving it on for about 20 minutes and the guy in the store said my alternator is good and my battery is good. I have a second battery in the back that I haven't changed in about 4 years but it's not puffy or leaking it's a kinetic 800 hc can it be that it's draining my battery while it's off
