yeah your best bet is to first figure out what the CEL light is for. it almost does sound like a coil problem. it MIGHT possibly be a fuel line problem. it could be a MAF problem. **** it could be all sorts of things. just figure out what the f***in light is first. lol

no like getting on it in second around 3000 to about 5200 rpms then let off. i usally never get on it long enough to change gears. and it usally does it when i completly floor it. I dont ever race cause theres nobody to race but i just get on it sometimes for fun and it just cuts out real bad and there are some days that it does it and some days it dont its just when ever it feels like which is been a lot lately.

get the codes pulled at like autozone or checker, to see. maybe its a miss fire caused by bad plugs, or coil pack. but if you are flooring and then immediately lifting off the gas you are surging the turbo and the ecu is "smart" and thinks you will most likely keep flooring it so could be trying to compensate with rich/lean etc. and throwing it. the DI engine/ecu's think to damn much

Hmmm but ya start with pulling the cel code and posting that or trying a different dealer to fix it.
