Traction Controll Completely Off?

///MSH · 11-14-2011, 09:39 PM

Hey guys. I'm somewhat unknown here since i haven't posted much, but I follow many of the threads. I found this thread when i became frustrated during an AutoX this past weekend. After having already exited a hard left hand corner, starting to get power down, high in the RPM's in 1st gear, the throttle response went completely dead...I'd say i coasted 2-3 car lengths, before any throttle response came back. This very much felt like a fuel shut off rather than any sort of ABS/ABLS intervention.
My fuel was half tankish, but everything i've read with regards to fuel starvation points to long-gradual RH Corners...not the case here.
On a second instance, the same lack of throttle response was noted, but this time with an audible fluttering sound....like intake charge was being dumped-off. I'm not saying this is the case, just trying to paint a picture of what the flutter sounded like.
In both instances, the power came back in about the time it took me to pump the pedal 3-4 times.
Here's a question...if the car was under a decent lateral load (instant G-force...not sustained) would the ECU shut off the fuel for safety reasons anticipating a crash/collision????
Oh yeah, this was not the rev limiter and yes i had the traction control turned off. And with the TC turned off, my car can get just about as loose as i want it to get.
