    does anyone know what would be wrong when your engine just drops off when you stomp it, it happens bad enough when you stomp it around a corner the engine cuts out and you gotta stop the car and start it again.:ranting:
    any help would be awesome.:thumbsup:

    could be that you're flooding it, how's your throttle set?

    Exactly the same problem with me.

    Try to check the fault code first.
    If you find CODE 47 or similar related to crank angle sensor, I am 90% percent sure you need to change it.

    It will cost you around 50 plus labour.

    Could be a faulty fuel pressure regulator.
