Default Is this the traction control

Dry roads thought late at night so a little bit of cool mist, foot to the floor, the car kept cutting out/loosing power for .05 sec intervals about 3 times in each gear up to about 80mhp, is this the traction control cutting/limiting my power (no warnings on dashbroad), or could it be something else? When I turned the traction control off it seemed to have stopped.

I also have traction control on my '99 coupe, and whenever it comes on, it is displayed on the DIC. That's why I always turn it off!

Seems like you've got it figured out if it stops when you disengage the AH/TC.

Just be careful, that button is a proven and repeated a$$ saver!

O.k well 4/5 attempts with TC disengaged it hasnt done it but then again with the TC engaged it sometimes isnt a problem either,A weird one, could things like this happen it oil etc isnt up to temp? or lowish fuel?
