Loss of power

Took a r/about quickish on way home tonight which then does a sharp left turn and had loss of power for split second, this has happened in same place before. No probs any other time just on this one stretch of road. Any ideas? Lack of fuel? Fuel pump not MAN enough?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

I agree with the others in that it's most likely the standard TC.

It closes the throttle and it's most disconcerting, losing all power for what seems like an age but is probably less than 0.5secs.

 

Take the corner again, at the same speed etc, but this time (if you can safely) keep an eye on the dash somewhere to the right-hand-side of the speedo and you should either an orange or green LED light flash on indicating that the Traction control has cut in. I think the LED is green on Jap-spec supras and orange on UK-spec supras. My ex-UKspec certainly was an orange light.

 

The stock TC does cut in at *any* rear-wheel slip. going over a cats-eye while cornering or simply hitting a small bump while cornering can make it cut in.

 

cheers
