Correct. The ABLS kicks in when there is a large differential wheel speed either side to side or front to rear, so it will potentially kill your burnout. This is not VDC.

Obviously the ABS is still active. That would be real interesting at the track if it wasn't since I never run with the VDC on! Haha can you imagine?!

It would definitely force you to learn threshold braking if that was the case.

When I wanted to do a burnout, I took out the brake lamp fuse to disable the brake override. Started the car and turned off the vdc. I don't know if it showed up before or after a burnout but the ABS light and some other light came on in the dash. I assume the ABS is disabled, maybe?
Turned off the car when I was done, put the fuse back in, turned it on again, and everything was back to normal

Hey guys. I'm somewhat unknown here since i haven't posted much, but I follow many of the threads. I found this thread when i became frustrated during an AutoX this past weekend. After having already exited a hard left hand corner, starting to get power down, high in the RPM's in 1st gear, the throttle response went completely dead...I'd say i coasted 2-3 car lengths, before any throttle response came back. This very much felt like a fuel shut off rather than any sort of ABS/ABLS intervention.
My fuel was half tankish, but everything i've read with regards to fuel starvation points to long-gradual RH Corners...not the case here. On a second instance, the same lack of throttle response was noted, but this time with an audible fluttering sound....like intake charge was being dumped-off. I'm not saying this is the case, just trying to paint a picture of what the flutter sounded like. In both instances, the power came back in about the time it took me to pump the pedal 3-4 times. Here's a question...if the car was under a decent lateral load (instant G-force...not sustained) would the ECU shut off the fuel for safety reasons anticipating a crash/collision???? Oh yeah, this was not the rev limiter and yes i had the traction control turned off. And with the TC turned off, my car can get just about as loose as i want it to get. |

Well I guess in the grand scheme of things, fuel starvation is not the end of the world...with a little weight penalty, the problem is gone.
Thanks for the input guys! |

If you jump to the end of this thread you will see there is a solution in the works as well. Fuel starvation, who else?
