    Basically it would go into limp mode if you came on and off the throttle too fast. It didn't happen to all the drivers, only the faster aggressive guys. They would have to pull a fuse during the race to reset it. I believe the factory team finally came up with a software patch to fix it, but not sure if production cars also had it.

    If i am driving hard(high rpms). normally on the hwy..... and i push in my clutch either for a delayed shift or getting on the off ramp my car basically cuts off rpms drop etc. is this the limp mode you're talking about?? if so i need a fix for this. however, its very infrequent but annoying to lose idle.

    not sure why this didn't carry over but it happened after i installed a new intake. Is this a software fix??
