[s-cars] cars] Momentary cut out under full boost

[FvAMI at aol.com]

Aaron,

Per our discussion your speedo indicating zero before it happens is 
potentially a problem and the first place to look.

The signal from the speed sensor goes into the ECU. The ECU reads this signal 
and sends a pulsed signal to instrument cluster. It also uses it to control 
the AC ... maybe others. Although I do not know if it read 0 it would cutoff 
the ECU under boost.

If your speedo goes to 0 it could mean

1) Speed sensor going out or bad connection. (not sure if ECU cuts boost 
under these conditions).
2) ECU going bad.
3) Bad connection to the ECU. Momentary short somewhere causing the ECU to 
glitch.

Best regards,
Feico van der Laan
