Bugeyed monster

I was on the m62 yesterday and was progressively accelerating the all of a sudden the car felt like it hit a brick wall for a split second. i looked down and the engine management light came on for that split second and the revs dropped to 0 then came back alive. it's done it twice now any ideas ??

How much boost is it making, has it been mapped ??

It's got the ppp on it mate think it usually boosts at 1.2 bar but didn't even get to that before it did it mate it was horrible honestly thought the engine blew it stopped that hard for a spilt second

how much fuel did you have and how fast were you accelerating?

Bugeyed monster

Fuel was just under quarter of a tank and I dropped into 3 rd at around 60 then started to accelerate then it did it

Wish the engine light wud stay on so I could get it looked at or does it log it even if its come on for a split second

Not sure on bugeye models but with a classic unless the ECU is reset and a fault code read, it should store. i had it with a dodgy knock sensor wire. Intermittant CEL would come up, connected tester plugs and code 22 - knock sensor. I dunno about newages but this page should help...

could well have been fuel surge with so little fuel in the tank. The fuel pick up is at the front of the tank, so if you accelerate hard enough you can throw the fuel to the rear of the tank aspecialy if youve just come off a roundabout?
