Guys. This is a safety feature, much like the lizard tail dislodging when trapped, the new Mitsubishi patented GPOCS system ( Gas Pedal of Complete Safety ) system actives when the car goes into protection mode. The criteria for protection mode are as follows:

- In situations of overboosting based on controlled ECU levels and airflow
- Situations where the AFR rises above the optimimum mitsubishi engineer level of 9:1
- Any time the oil service interval has been ignored for over 50% timeframe/mileage
- Any time the stereo is on over volume 20 with 3 of the 4 windows down
- When you are on your way home from a bar with a hot to trot chick with herpes or any other serious STD as detected by seat sensers and the AWC system ( Active Whore Control)
- Any time you threaten to turn it in and buy a subaru.

It’s not a defect. It’s an undocumented feature.
