:twisted:Ok so this has only happened once and it was over the summer but never got a good anwser as to why it happened.
At our EOC Tahoe trip in August four of us were doing a little driving on fire roads. At one loose fairly steep uphill section I had to stop while the E in front picked a better line. As I started out again the wheels spun for a second then the power seemed to die and it stalled. Hmmm pretty strange I thought. Started the car let out the clutch giving it some gas and after 5 seconds same thing happened. Eventually I made it up, but very strange.
It felt like some sort of traction control or something else was keeping the engine from reving?
My E is an 03' MT (awd) with Grabber AT2's pretty aggressive and a 2.5 inch lift.
Swapped out plugs (60k on them, but looked fine) and cleaned the K&N filter on the cold air intake(also looked fine). Never got a check engine light or anything else. Anyone have an idea why this happened.
