The car shudders and the engine or maybe transmission seems to disengage whenever my front wheel spins during hard acceleration or skids in corners with throttle applied.

My car is a '96 Starlet Reflet X automatic, non turbo, with only a cold intake mod.

Is it traction control at work or faulty transmission? I use 95 octane fuel so I doubt it's knocking.

Apparently, it may seem to be ecu+octane issue. Before, I am using 91 octane. Switched to 95 octane, nothing seemed to happen. Reset ecu with 95 octane and problem's gone!

I suspect, it's spark timing going haywire thinking I'm still on 91 octane while under hard acceleration.
