krisgowing Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 (edited) [OOPS][/OOPS] Was driving last night and joining a road I had to use a heavy foot to get out . As the auto box usually does when I'm using a heavy foot in first she rev's all the way until changing till second at high revs. But this time she went all the way to therev limiter and bounced before changing gear? The other gears seemed fine it was just the first gear I believe. I then turned it off went back in and it happened again. I haven't tried this today as I needed some open road this morning and 8am traffic isn't the best. Just a note, this wasnt in manu mode overdrive was on and it was in D.

krisgowing Posted May 8, 2015 Author Share Posted May 8, 2015 Did you traction control light flash ? My 93 SZ doesn't have traction control so I don't even have the light that would show up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattdavies Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Not knowing exactly how the auto box works, maybe the fluid is low ? Have you checked ? Search here for how to do it properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony tt Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Stock boost then? If you are still stock boost it may not be fuel cut. I've only known fuel cut to be an issue with bpu and raised boost levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitz Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Wouldn't removing the 1st cat cause slight overboost? I know its the more restrictive of the two. Guessing you don't have an FCD in place or Restrictor Ring? (Not sure if you'd need an RR with the 2nd cat in still though?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krisgowing Posted May 8, 2015 Author Share Posted May 8, 2015 Yep the levels are right and a good colour. No I don't, had this exhaust since purchase last month and this is the first time its happened Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 My 93 SZ doesn't have traction control so I don't even have the light that would show up. So it's NA? Are you talking about the rev limiter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krisgowing Posted May 8, 2015 Author Share Posted May 8, 2015 So it's NA? Are you talking about the rev limiter? Yeah and yeah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 (edited) Yeah and yeah Your thread title has confused things a little, the term 'fuel cut' is generally used to describe the overboost safety feature on a turbocharged engine. Sorry I know very little about the auto gearbox function, hopefully someone more qualified will be along in a moment ps. may be worth changing the title to 'rev limiter' instead.
