Loss of power
Loss of power
My 07 DB9 has an issue, if I hit the gas more than a 1/3rd of the way, the car will start to take off and seems like the traction control takes over for a split second and car loses power and then takes off like a scalded dog. If I ease throttle and get it over 5 mph, it does not happen.
Issue is more pronounced when I make a turn from a stop.
Anybody have an idea of what is causing this?
I disconnected my tpms and it does not seem to make a difference.

Rear wheel spin causes traction control to cut back on the gas and/or brake the slipping wheel. Tpms is not involved, but old tires & cold tires will make this worse.
Find a safe spot, turn off traction control (press and hold for a few seconds), and see if it makes a difference.

Maybe a vacuum leak? Usually affects low rpm but the extra air doesn't have an effect on higher rpms. Open the hood and check for any obvious disconnects or hissing noises.
Your traction control light will flicker if it is kicking in.
More details please...year, mileage, recent service, etc.
