Power loss

TigMik · 04-21-2013, 06:00 AM

Need help guys .....

When I accelerate hardish from a standing start, the car will set off on full throttle then violently cut all power in first gear, then it comes back again and then does it again in second gear sometimes. It catapults anybody in the car backwards, then forwards then back into the seat. It is bloody annoying.
I have had a new HPFP fitted and have tried the car in all modes of DSC, on, semi on and off and it makes no difference.
What the hell is wrong with it???

JB4 map 5, ETS fmic and AR Catless DP's.

Overboosting perhaps?

Loss of traction due to no LSD. Turn off traction control and see what happens.

Edit- missed that you have tried without traction control. Still think this is typical open diff behavior though...

any codes?

when you say "cuts power", are you talking about the engine reduced power warning light?

There's no codes and no lights, it's as though the engine turns off for a second then comes back on again at full throttle. It's awful and very violent, just throws you forward like you've hit a wall. Ruining driving the car for me.

Try it on a different map number, as map 5 is an auto-learning map.
