boosting Member 31 Member For: 16y 6m 19d Gender: Male Location: sydney Posted 29/06/09 06:51 AM Share Posted 29/06/09 06:51 AM I havent pull the finger out to fix this problem yet, but everytime I plant the foot down hard (BF XR6T ZF zuto), the car seems to "shut down" for half a second then spring back to life. Its almost as if the fuel gets cut off.Has anyone experienced this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle!

I thought it could have been an original factory setting that hasnt been changed yet in the programming, maybe like a safety cut out or something along those lines.

Do these cars have throttle body shutdown system fitted standard or something like that?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
