Hello All!
this past weekend I was shaking down my new to me Spec E30 at VIR and encountered a slight issue in my very last session. After more or less running flawlessly for 8 sessions, the car would momentarily cut throttle when at WOT (north of 5000RPM) in 4th and 5th gear. This would also seemingly be accompanied by the ABS light flashing.
In the course of 30 minutes, this happened 6 or so times, with the majority being in 5th gear. As you can see in the video, throttle came right back, but my foot was pinned to the floor the entire time. I would really like to chase this down before it becomes a bigger, more disruptive issue, so I appreciate whatever thoughts you may have on it! I am likely to pull the engine to replace the long block and install a fresh clutch/flywheel while I am at it (190k on the motor with no evidence of any rebuilds and it is down on power from the data I collected).
here is the video, just 20s in total cut from the various instances in the session
