Momentary loss of power after high G turn, but engine does not die. Autocross practic
Practicing for upcoming autocross by driving aggressively; taking some 90 degree turns at 30+ MPH and also braking hard before other sharp turns. My 2002 Eldorado ESC looses power after apex of turn (like a hesitation) for a second or two before recovering. It does not noticeably miss, or stutter, and the engine does not die. Is this a loss of fuel pressure or transmission fluid pressure or what? Upcoming autoX race on December 8th and I need to get it fixed before then.

Is the fuel tank full or near empty?
|
this morning it was between 1/4 and 1/2
|
sounds like its uncovering the pickup, you could try filling the tank or putting fuel pressure gauge on it and taping it to the windshield so you can see it
|
Does this car have traction control and ABS? If so can u turn it off and try again>??
|
good idea, didnt think about the stability control, or traction control
|
Hmmm.... it would make sense that an algorithm programmed for safe driving might limit a torque application to the front wheels at that moment in order to reserve all available traction for the turn, thus preventing an induced power slide.
I will look for the fuse and try it again. Thanks. |
mine has a button you just push
