Loss In Power?

[skankmanky]

So I was driving pretty hard on some back roads today and at high speeds I experienced the engine losing power briefly under heavy acceleration. Has anyone experienced this?

Might not help but possibly you lugged the engine--ie too high of a gear,

Did stability control start to kick in?

I know the car will cut power around a corner if you're pushing it too hard...

No it was before redline.

I was on a straight away

No cods, no VSA light? How bad was the power loss? Like the car was literally trying to shut down or a slight dip in power output and then back to full power?

What gear were you in, and at what speed? Was this while moving straight or turning? Uphill, flat, or downhill?

Around 105mph in 5th gear flat straight away.

Slight dip then back on

What were road conditions like? Did you maybe hit a patch of gravel or a puddle?

I've had power reduced but I'll see the little yellow VSA light flash on too on the dash. Were you just not looking or can you confirm that you didn't see any lights on the dash when the power dropped?

My guess is you managed to hit a fuel cut somehow. Any mods? Post a datalog and someone here can take a look.

AFE Scorcher and PRL intake tube and filter. How do you post a datalog

 

[Micah]

Use Ktuner or Hondata to datalog.... unless you are using some crap piggyback system like AFE or RACECHIP in which case you can purchase an ELM327 bluetooth adapter and use that with appropriate software to datalog. Best bet would be to take the piggyback off the car and see if the same behavior occurs in similar driving conditions.

If you can spend the money on a CTR, and on those parts - do yourself a favor and purchase a ktuner. Hell you can buy them used on the marketplace here. If you really want to prove that AFE Scorcher is doing a good job, marry the Ktuner to the car (which means letting them flash your ECU.... details here http://ktuner.com/ktunertyper/), then datalog the car using the AFE Scorcher without changing the factory stock map on the car.
