Default Serious Trouble

I was driving the all of a sudden my ESP turns off, ABS light comes on and the car starts spuddering. I've let the car cool and set the ignition in the on position for 10min to let the computer reset itself, but it did not work. Any clues?

Default Here's a pic of where mine ripped- just like everyone elses, under the clamp.

Default Sounds like an IC hose blew off to me. Get under the car and check things out.

Before you get underneath, check the TBB. That is an easy fix.

could be, but I've never experienced it- what he described is exactly what happened when my TBB went

I do not know what an IC hose is. Can you explain?

Default The hose connecting your intercoolers. You can see them from underneath the car.

You just have to remove the belly pan to see them.

Before you look into that, check what Dommed said (Throttle Body Boot).

I removed and inspected the TBB and it's in good condition. I'll check the IC hoses next.
