Its almost as if the fuel gets cut off.Has anyone experienced this?
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.

boosting Member 31 Member For: 18y 3m 24d Gender: Male Location: sydney Posted 30/06/09 01:36 AM Author Posted 30/06/09 01:36 AM Doesnt feel like the transmission because the engine seems to shut down during the event. Do these cars have throttle body shutdown system fitted standard or something like that??
