New CAI and now occasional sputter

**Stretch15** · 03-30-2013

so i just did the CAI build with the spectre filter and pvc pipe, and i noticed now when i take off hard going straight its awesome however if i get on it fairly hard from a stop around a turn as in trying to cut into traffic from a light or a stop, it sputters, traction control was on i dont have any SES light or anything im just curious as to if it has something to do with the computer possibly vibrating a little more since its not 100% supported anymore or if it has something to do with the traction control and the LSD cause when it sputters it bogs down but then comes right back as i straighten out.... any info would be much appreciated guys. thanks!!!

while i had everything off i cleaned what i could from the throttle body. i took it out later last night and it only sputtered once when i was pissed at a retard who didnt know how to turn and i wanted to get infront of him, yet again its only when i turn and get on it that it seems to happen

How much gas is in your fuel tank? Are you almost out? Are you flying around the turn, sloshing all your fuel to one side and your pump is picking up air?

Sorry you said going around a corner, flogging it, sputters, straighten out and its fine.

All with traction control on?

Because that sounds awfully like traction control doing its thing.

Turn it off and see if you get some tire chirp doing it. Bog should go away as well.

ill give it a shot, it was dry out when it was happening ill check it out tomorrow and give a real run down trying to debunk everything

thanks for all the replies guys

Not a problem.

Let us know how it goes.

I found traction control was really rather pointless, didn't help nearly as much as other systems do.

well i took it out about an hour ago roads are dry and empty. nothing happened didnt matter if tcs was on or off no problem was there no matter how hard i tried, with the exception of flooring it from a stop and turning lol obvious reason for tcs to kick in or roasting of the inside tire lol ill keep an eye on it and try to get video if it starts happening again to better show whats going on thanks again guys sry it was a waisted thread :/

Try checking your vacuum connections too, if one is loose or dry rotting, it will sputter like that when the engine rocks enough to open up a leak.
