Acceleration problem related to blinkers?
Alright so I'm trying to help my buddy Chris with his car and the situation is as follows.
First, the car is a 2003 model with a 5 or 6 speed whatever it is they came with.
The car runs and drives perfectly under normal operation. However, if you are accelerating at all and have either of the blinkers on the throttle cuts out with each pulse of the blinker. My initial thought was that it the flasher circuit was somehow pulling voltage from the throttle by wire crap (yes, it's crap, on any car). However, I had him free rev it to 3k while parked and then turn on the blinker, nothing, so I'm kind of moving away from the throttle by wire idea.
So... I now would think it has something to do with the VSS sensor, but I'm not sure how the two would be connected and if that really even makes sense seeing as how it will maintain speed fine and cruise control still works. HELP please. Apparently this isn't the first time this has happened to people from what I see on the forums.
