ok.. so I did this,and I got to the screen,turned dyno mode on.. and started the engine.All excited to drive it I got out onto the highway,I thought it sure feels "different" and as I mashed the loud pedal..... NOTHING happened! its like it was in 3rd gear or something. NO POWER AT ALL..... so I tried again,same thing. Needless to say I stopped,put it back in normal mode,and all is good again.

Any thoughts to this?????

Read this entire thread. Another member posted about the same symptoms and the solution he found.

Turns out he WAS in third gear BTW...

I suggest you search this forum for the "transmission jerk". You should find many articulate answers about our wonderful trannies. The jerk and dyno mode should be completely separate issues though. The most serious jerk is caused by glycol contamination in the transmission fluid.

By the way, my dealer told me over and over, that the jerk is normal too. Resetting the ECU helps for a while (another forum search).

I've dyno tested my car and got 318whp. How much is it on the engine? They made a test on 4th gear. Does it matter if the test is done on 3rd or 4th gear?
