Somewhat of a scare
So with yesterday being friday and all, i left work a little too excited and pushed my 250 home, nothing it shouldn't be able to handle. As i approached a light it changed and i had to stop at a small distance (i didnt slam the brakes) it was enought that most of the cars weight shifted to the front. At the stop light i felt the car shake as if it were about to stall (im familar with all the carbon build up issues) and when the light hit and i went to accelerate my check engine light flashed and check VSC came on not to mention the car felt sluggish (i almost ****ted my self thinking i broke the transmission). I pulled over on the nearest exit a little less than a quarter mile up the road and shut the car off checked for any signs of leaks or smoke and nothing. I started my car again shortly after and no problems whatsoever. the car didn't overheat either. I think the brakes locked up as a saftey feature for collision but i would like others oppinions on how seriously i should take this event.
FYI i have been seeing mild signs of carbon build up im preping to seafoam my car to fix it.

Yeah, at 116K im not under warranty so for me its either a matter of seafoam working or trading the car in for something else and taking my loss there but paying to have my pistons replaced is not an idea i see my self warming up to.
