Shuttering/ Slipping / Traction Control Sound Under Load

[falcon04]

ba 4spd turbo, sounds like the traction control kickin when puttin the boot into it like around 4grand, only thing is when the traction control is off, it still does it, not every time though.... ????????????? any ideas ?

[falcon04]

maybe the tranny slippin?

Traction control light on or off when its "off"?

[falcon04]

press the button and the light comes on, meaning the tc is off. either way it does it when ive turned the tc off or when I leave it on..

only really does it at around 4grand... Sort of feels like its hesitating and then continues up the rev range.... any one had similar feeling with thier ba auto's ?

any suggestions welcome!!!

Boost issue maybe. Leak? Actuator sticking?

[KeddyXR6T]

had this problem with my ba 4spd was the valve springs retarding threw in some nizpros and it was fine

[phantom xr6t]

coils and or spark plugs breaking down under boost mayby, is it tuned or stock, mine runs on 5 cylinders after a full boost run because my valve springs have gone soft.

coils and or spark plugs breaking down

yeah only stock atm, and has done just over 100,000ks too. might try the plugs first cheers for the replies

mate, same thing happening to me at the moment but only in 2nd gear, mines a stock ba xr6t 100,000km auto, get to about 3500rpm and ta ta ta ta ta ta power on/off struggleing to get near 5000rpm, exactly like you said , as if traction control is on. New plugs didnt change it. been told could be coils, loose bolts on turbo/dump or exhaust manifold, cat's gone. if it is valve springs.... its a good start to performance mods!
