Alex fg Barra New Member 10 Member For: 3y 8m 5d Posted 23/08/20 07:46 AM Share Posted 23/08/20 07:46 AM Hey guys so ive only had the car for about 3 months it runs like an absolute dream, but sometimes when I put my foot down coming out of a corner, the engine light starts to flash and the car becomes all stuttery and vibrates like I’m trying to take off in 5th. if I wait about 30 seconds or turn the car off it goes away and the car runs like a dream again. the cars never been tuned to my knowledge, it has turbo side intake, eBay intercooler and alloy piping any help would be appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
