I posted earlier about "Traction Control". The thread was locked.

Ok, so what causes the power loss when my friend takes a turn too quickly, or even does a U-turn? It doesn't happen all the time, but it happens quite often. He has an MY04'. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Try and be more understanding next time. I know my terminology was off, but there's no reason to lock a thread over it.

What power loss are you talking about? There are absolutely no forms of computer intervention when the car loses traction. Is he hitting the rev limiter when the wheels spin maybe?

 

Nope, just while taking a sharp turn (U - turn, high speed turn, etc.) it seems to happen. The power cuts out for roughly 3-4 seconds, and then the car lurches back into action. Happens usually at around 5k - 6k rpm.

Are you sure that the car is warmed up? If not that's about the time it shuts down.

 

We usually wait until the car has at least 3 bars before we start playing. Is it that somehow too much G-force applied while turning is perhaps throwing something off? We did just install a new V2 AEM CAI ...

Sounds to me like a fuel blockage of sorts. During a turn the centripetal force is preventing fuel flow. Check your fuel filter.

 

Id say you dont have enough gas in your tank, seriously.

 

not warmed up!

 

I'll have to go with the fuel pressure, or most likely is fuel related. It use to happen to a car of a friend. Every time he will turn hard to certain directions the car would almost die. Anyways tell him to take it to the shop and explain whats going on.

 

Was this on a fuel injected car? I have heard of this on carburators, but never Fuel injection. Weird.

I sounds to me like the car is not warmed up. "We usually wait for three bars" should be we always wait for three bars. Try that and let us know.
