So stalled it up, didnt take TC off as I wasnt intending on doing anything too dramatic.. Took off, TC kicked in so I backed off a bit, then nailed it... After that and till now, everytime I nail it, it feels like TC is coming on, the TC light doesnt come on its just feels like it, kinda farts, jerks around a bit and drops power.. I spoke to someone who said it maybe my tyre pressures were off and the car was sensing it and applying the TC, the tyre pressures were off, but since I have been keeping an eye on them and its still occurring..Just had a service etc... new plugs bla bla bla.. Car was fine after the service, so nothing to do with that...Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It even happens when I turn TC off.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last service I had I had the plugs changed and I had an issue where we thought the coils were playing up but it wasn't them.. Valve springs are Nizpro ones but were installed years ago, could be a possibility but the car hasn't seen over 250rwkw's so I'm thinking they should be ok..

Would crap coils cause an increase in fuel usage too? Not a lot but noticeable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was pushing 6bar instead of 4, so that explains the extra fuel usage and obviously running way rich which was causing the drama.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
