Start by making a very simple collison engine, then change it to have a throttle. (The throttle just changes the ignition timing, basicly by rotating the "spark plugs" so the collisons last for longer (Faster rpm) and shorter (For idle).

it explodes when you throttle down because the red circles don't turn green (and thus change collision layer) before they re-intersect the red box

try reducing the size of the red box to half, and see what you get
