It kind of sounds like an electrical issue of some sort. Loose ground or battery cable? I had an exhaust leak melt an electrical connector under the motor on mine.

Keep us posted and I hope for a quick fix.

At turn 10 the car immediately slowed down to about 30-40 MPH, flashers came on, DIC said: LOW BRAKE FLUID, LOW OIL PRESSURE, HIGH OIL TEMP, Etc. It was important to watch for other cars in the red group until we got off track so I can't tell you what else it said. The car also called OnStar!

The Cosworth program showed:

Max water temp 230
Max oil pressure 51.1
Max oil temp 273
Max trans temp 167

If you notice 2nd gear was used a lot. Running the track in 3rd is slower but there are no issues.

I hope this is what you were asking.

That exactly what I was interested in. I agree with every one else that this sounds like an electrical issue because your temps weren't that bad at all. Also the calling of ONstar is especially interesting, I wonder if this could be due to the your sticky tires exceeding some g force threshold.

P.S. Enjoy your last ride. Godspeed and have a blast.

I am 72 years old and have had a great career but it is time for me to stop. I will be at the 10/10s event in a couple of weeks and that is it for this car on the track. My bones are getting less dense due to advanced prostate cancer treatments and my very supportive wife and doctors say it is time to quit.

Everything must come to an end.

This is 100% an electrical problem. The braking system (low brake fluid) and the engine oil pressure warning system (low oil pressure) are 2 totally unrelated systems. The fact that you got both of these unrelated warnings as well as other warnings simultaneously tells us the communication from the data bus was lost for those systems. Generally when this happens the affected system defaults to the worst case alarm to "scare' the driver into a immediate reaction.

Have them look for a lose or water soaked connector at the PCM or as Poor Sha said burnt and or bare wires on the harness between the PCM and the engine sensor harness that feeds all of the engine sensors.

Let us know what you find out.

Or take the young rookie under your wing and teach him how to make the car dance as you did in that video. Life is about doing and enjoying what you love.

I train everyone I can. Still race pro modified stock cars but that is ending also. I plan on continuing to instruct. I also have a close friend I am helping race in the SCCA.

Thanks for the input.
