This morning I lost a race to this Audi S5 on my local track....now i never normally track my car and my speedo doesnt work. So we take off and my car pulls way off, top of 5th now and randomly it feels like my car shut off....so naturally i look down and the car is still on, just not responding to anything....i let go the accel and after a while the car seems to "start back up" and no check light, afr, boost (vacuum 21-22 in gear and 18-19 neutral) , oil and fuel pressure gauges read normal....temps normal and tank full of gas.....now i assume i hit the speed cut...cant tell how fast i was goin cause the speedo....
So....is that stuff what happens when you hit it?? This post has been edited by Island_Racer: Jul 16, 2014 - 12:49 PM |

That sounds like speed cut. The ecu will cut the ignition until the speed drops back off and once you are under the limiter, the car will operate like normal again.
Similar things happen when you hit boost cut. -------------------- ~bloodMoney
