Hey everybody,
Well I was at the track yesterday. This problem that I will describe has happened 3 times total. 2 yesterday, and 1 on a previous track day. It only happens from 2nd to 3rd shift, as soon as Im in 3rd gear, and my gas pedal is to the floor. The engine goes limp and my supercharger sounds limp. Even though my gas pedal is to the floor. I stayed on it for a couple of seconds the first two times, but released it after and coasted down the track. Yesterday on the 3rd time, I was on it for a 3 seconds and immediately changed it to 4th and everything was fine back to normal.
What could be happening? On my first time, I had asked this guy I was talking to, becuase he asked me what my times were. He basically said, my car probably retard the timing, because basically the engine at that point in time, being the weather, the shift and the readings, didnt like it, and basically brought my car in limp mode, so that it wouldnt ruin the the engine? Is this true?
My mods are in my sig.
By the way, my 2nd to 3rd gear has been a problem for me to make at times. Im definetly getting a shifter. I have the upr triple hook and extreme firewall adjuster. But still have the same problem. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd when racing at the track, it either lodges into something (not sure what) and I have to pull it out and when I try again, it does the same thing. So I usually coast it down the track. But when I exit off the track and make sure my 3rd gear still works, everything goes in smootly.
Hopefully the shifter finally solves this problem!!! Thanks
