Default cuts out for a sec

hi all got the surging factor fixed. But one more question, when i go over 5000 rpm the engine cuts out for a second or two then goes again, but the check engine light comes on any ideas i thought it may have an rpm limiter on it ?

If it had an RPM limiter at 5000rpm it wouldnt go past it.

Sounds like boost cut.

When the car hits a certain boost which is higher than the pre-programmed number within the ecu, the car will "cut out for a second"

usually happens around 5000rpm too

take the controller off, test car without. If it doesnt fix it, move on to a new though process.
