Power loss in Corners

ingraham · 06-09-2003, 05:35 PM

I've had 2 episodes when late braking into a corner, start to turn and get on the gas. All the sudden there is no power, then a jerk and a shutter and the powers back. It feels like the spark arrest I had in my RX-7 but I don't think this is the case since I'm keeping the revs below 4000. Is this something with the differential? I've never had a all wheel drive car before so maybe this is normal, But I wonder........

sorry, i haven't had this experience as yet. have you heel-toed down to your exit gear, thus keeping the revs up, get on it and the rev drop (or something like that)??

Its possible, I must admit I'm new to the whole heel toe thing and maybe I was out of the powerband, I don't know. I had a Ford Explorer that when in 4 wheel drive would bind the differential in tight corners and lose power, I dont know if its the same thing or not, but coming through a fast corner without power could land me in a ditch. If anyone has any Ideas let me know.

Thanks
