Impellor Member 835 Member For: 14y 9m 24d Gender: Not Telling Posted 25/05/12 11:47 PM Share Posted 25/05/12 11:47 PM Hi all, hoping someone may be able to answer this question. I was quite surprised that in 5th (manual, no tune) with WOT car stuttered and the TC was was on. Now I know that there is no way I was losing traction. Im thinking maybe TPS, but TC lit up so a little stumped. Went through previous threads with no success. Thanks in advance for any advice.

All sh*t aside.. Not sure about yours but my FG did this but being the FG it also flashes a warning, it was a steering angle sensor or something along those lines..

The "paint everything black" joke is overImpellor, in 5th at wot you could have been experiencing torque reduction via etc. In a nutshell your car decided the driver demand for torque was too high and psrtially closed the throttle to reduce it.This is just one possibility. How long since its had a set of spark plugs fitted? 5th gear and wot is a very high load situation and would show ant flaws in the ignition system if they exist Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/80318-what-would-cause-tc-to-engage-in-5th-gear-with-wot/#findComment-1243479 Share on other sites More sharing options...
