question about ms3 traction control.

[nig3]

Ok this is the first time this has happened to me, i left the traction control on and was hauling ass threw 2nd and 3rd and even after the car caught traction it felt like the throttle body was still closing or something making the car jerk. i wasn't over boosting or anything so what the hell?? is that normal for the traction control system to do this or is it possibly something else??

were u turning? or turning the wheel slightly to change lanes....

No i wasnt turning, felt like it was running out of gas or somthing, I think it was the traction control messing with me cause it hasnt done it sense. But if anyone knows for sure please let me know. thanks

Are you sure you werent overboosting? It kinda sounds like fuel cut to me.

the traction control system will close the throttle on your ass that's more than likely what you experienced.

at what psi does the ecu consider over boosting?? cause i was just running like 16psi at the time. i just thought it was strange, who know maybe my tires were breaking loose and the traction control was trying to stop it. i just added a new DP and CAI so its running like a champ!!

the worst thing about this is that some redneck in and old z28 thinks he beat ms3's now.

definately sounds like fuel cut, which is common on the mazdaspeed 3 especially with people who have dp's. you will need a tuning solution for the car to run properly

i think anything over 18psi is consider overboost and the computer cuts... a few guys with downpipes spike over 20...im not 100% about the psi for cut.
