hey uhm.. WTF CAR!

Sooo my car is doing somthing really weird.
when i step on the gas harder then normal driving.. In first gear into second my ebrake light will turn on then go off when i shift into third.
i cant tell if the brake is acctually on tho or just the light...
I cant think of anything worse to slow down my 0-60 then my fuckin ebrake..
It doesnt happen when i drive slowish.
Any ideas anyone?

Yep....fluid surges to the rear of the reservoir during acceleration and sets the low fluid indicator....just add brake fluid.

Option two....don't drive slow...if that fixes it then just drive like a bat out of hell

Rob Z has a spectacular aura about
Had a problem once running Autocross. On hard left turns the car would die. This went on for some time befor I found the issue. The car had an elect fuel pump. When making a hard left the oil would move away from the pickup and loose pressure. This would turn off the fuel pump and thus kill the engine. This was NOT an Eclipse, but something you would not normaly think of.

Good catch all.
