Until you isolate the problem, its all just a guess.

If the problem completely goes away with the Arm switch off, then it's either something in the ESC system (compressor, controller, harness) or something that the ESC system is interacting with (through the installation).

Check you installation again. But if the ESC is shutting down the electrical system...STOP using it. Get in touch with Rob.

'Stall after WOT event'. Sounds like the compressor brake has been disabled, causing the car to stall. email me and I'll tell you how to reset it.

Thks, Rob.

I did double check my installation and everything looked perfect. I haven't been engaging it since the issue started. I do appreciate your help and input though, it's nice having for the most part such a helpful forum. I'm going to try Rob's suggestion then get back to all of you on the outcome.


On a side note, with the exception of this occurrence, this system has been amazing!

If for any reason your tune wasn't on the car anymore that would probably cause a issue to. Check with the oft that you are still running the phantom tune.

When I read this again it really does just sound like the compressor brake.

Is this normal?

Well the compressor always needs to brake. Maybe his wasn't set strong enough for some reason.

If its not strong enough it can cause the engine to stall from continuing to force air into the engine. Normally it isn't a problem but if you go WOT and then clutch in right after and the brake isn't fast enough it can cause a stall.

So I reset the compressor before leaving work as Rob suggested and it worked perfect! Everything is back to normal, I just hope it stays that way. Thanks everyone! By the way I do have to say Rob's customer service has been phenomenal.

Process for reseting the brake: how difficult was it?

literally 5 seconds long. Don't even start the car lol

Simply...arm 'on' when the car is idling.
If you arm 'on' during WOT or a DR pulse the controller has not had time (2 seconds) to initialize...This may trigger a brake re-programming.
It is old code that I used to adjust brake force on the fly. I have deleted this function on all but the first 5 kits with new firmware.

Good to hear it is solved. Rob.
