Power Loss

[Edward McFadyen]

Sometimes when driving my LCR, I go to floor it and I only get half the normal power. I stop and turn the car off then back on again and it's fine. This is an intermittent problem and only happens a few times a month but it well annoying.

The car is still in warranty so I want to get my local dealer to fix it but since it rarely happens, they would have to keep it in for awhile and do a lot of testing.

Can anyone help?

I've had the same problem since buying my LCR, and after lots of research and reading it seems it could be any number of possible causes.

Dump Valve
N75
Wastegate problems
Leaking Pipe / Loose connection
ECU problem
MAF sensor... the list goes on, but those are the common problems.

So far I've changed my DV to a Forge 007P and while the car feels better when it's on song, it still loses power occasionally. Will try the N75 next I think.

i have the same problem in my 270 lcr. I put it down to the traction control as it only does it in low gears when i try to put the power down quickly

That's not the same problem. You are indeed talking about traction control, which will cut the power when you lose traction.
