Default my engine cut-offs on Drive when brutally accelerating
Hello, to start with i bought a 08 isf a week ago and its not in a really good condition it has done 177k miles and its moded with a k &N air intake and nameless exhaust.. According to its performance it still feels like 5.0 v8 and it gets to 60 less than five.. However the engine automatically cut-offs during a full throttle on 2nd and 3rd gear (during drive) so i was wondering if this thing is normal or the previous owners have done some tuning to its ECU. I really need your help guys and looking forward to restore the car

It may need a tune up. Replace spark plugs with oem ones and see if that could help resolve it. Also, how bad is the cut off? Need more details.

Its around 2 seconds before automatically shifting to the next gear and the spark plugs are in good shape

I knew the car wasnt in a good condition before buying it according to its price.. No cell.. just check system thatcorrespond to the tyre pressure which needs a reset
