Svt Crap - Ryan - 11-11-2005
Just ticked off. The engine light comes on sometimes, the thing chugs and gurgles when I stop at a light, I could be driving along, and all of a sudden it loses almost 80% of the power and the engine goes really loud and low rumbling. What the hell? Anyways, it's in getting diagnosed right now...hope it's not serious?? Funny though, it started to happen after I went rally driving through puddles the size of small lakes...it was fun though.

Well for your sake I hope no water go sucked into the intake. Other than that the stock programming in the SVTF leaves a LOT to be desired. Ask them to do TSB 03-11-19 while they have it.

I'd ask Scooba...hes an expert on f**ked up SVT's
Or should I say SPV?~!

I'm starting to think we need a SPV sub-forum.
Seriously... isn't Donway a SVT dealer? Screw Dixie, take it up with SVT and then try another dealer.

Some wire is broken in the ignition box, that keeps cutting out 2 cylinders. Only a $46 part, so not so bad.
