ASR shutdown with ASR turned off?
I have a 96 lt4. It is an intermittent problem, but here goes. Sometimes when I shut the asr off to allow some "fun" I get what feels like a complete shutdown of the motor. It lasts for only a split second and then comes back strong. It has only happened to me in a tire spinning situation with the asr turned off and with the asr on it never completely shuts down. It just pushes the throttle back at me like it should. When this happens, if feels like a fuel shutoff, or the ignition cutting out, but still, only happens if the asr is shut off. It is also not the rev limiter, because i'm not even to 6k yet when it has happened. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Yeah - mine will even do this with 5 bars showing on the fuel gauge. Just about every C4 seems to have a faulty gauge.... I have seen the fix posted a few times... But it doesn't bother me enough (I have gotten used to reading past its inaccuracy).
