911turborookie is infamous around these parts
PSM or other problems...questions....

So I just picked my car up after getting a coolant hose repair (reglued).... Wife asked me to pick up some take out so why not take my 911 -told the wife the food would be still hot when I get back

So while driving I love shutting the PSM Off and tear up on take off... but even with it off I noticed the triangle flashing on acceleration. Also the car just looses power(this part concerns me)....???? Kinda getting nervous never really did this before... could this be related to my recent problem with the coolant hose repair...no coolant fluids anywhere... I dont really know much about what relates to PSM but from other threads it seems just for traction and stability or control of the car. Anyone have any ideas...?

It is never completely off. Cold tires maybe with limited traction?

any ideas...?
if the car/platform is new to you? drive your car for awhile and learn what is "normal" and what isn't. based upon your anecdotal event and psm lights. i'd guess your car was telling you you were driving, is all.
