    Default Engine slightly failed

    Went to take off in 1st today with traction control off and the car took off but then dies basically as it would with traction control off but wouldn't start again. When I turned power and traction control off and put it back in drive it was fine.

    Ideas?

    Air Bubble in a fuel line ? That could cause something like that...
