Power loss on track
I’m doing a track day and the engine power is cutting off
Nothing is over heating The traction control and stability control are both fully off An engine check light is on. I tried dc the battery but on the first lap the problem continued It doesn’t happen driving it on the street under full power Any ideas? |

After the check engine light came in, did you drive it on the street and the light turned off, or is it permanently on now?
Any mods to the car or is it completely stock?

Wasn’t there issues with air in the coolant system causing the engines to deface or go into limp mode?
I wonder if this is causing the car to drop power???? |

The engine light was off after the battery dc, but came back on on tge the first lap. It’s still on now.
No overheating |

Get it scanned to see what the code is. then you probably have a starting point.

Suspect your SC cooling system has air in it and needs to be bled.

I'm taking it to the dealer Friday.
Unfortunately the problem isn't happening in street driving. I hope they can figure it out at the dealer because it really sucks to do all the preparation and cost for a track day only to go home after 2 laps! The power was cutting out intermittently like when you have fuel starvation, though it could have been ignition just as well. No overheating of any kind. |
