Help Ive Got No Power

lapat · August 30, 2003

anybody out there help

i floor my is200 especially into roundabouts and it will start to slide and then traction kicks in but i lose all power(like a flat spot)for just a second or so then it will pick back up is this a fault or is it something thats built into the computer to control the traction control aswell

i know some off you are going to say turn trc off but i still like too have a little sideways fun with my lad in the car(be a little safe)

The IS200 is a fickle creature... and the traction control especially..

When the TRC kicks in, it will limit the power to the wheels, and doesnt immediatly switch off afterwards..

You need a SPORT coz its got LSD?

the GS traction control system seems much more responsive.

Mat and MSW, remember the trip to Oxford? Whilst there were beeps at every roundabout there was no discernable loss of power was there? she just tucked her bum in and got on the good foot to keep doing the bad thing.

:P

i think i have got a problem as i tried it again today with and without the trc on and i lose all power when it slides and regrips thought i was being a little heavy and the rev limiter was kicking in but i didnt even hit redline

back to lexus she goes but how do i explain that ive no power when coming out of a sideways slide at roundabouts hehehe
