I'm sorry John, I read more into your response than was actually there. My Bad.
The only reason I mentioned the TC, is because we both haved 04's, and it seems to me that the TC is a little more "sensitive" on the 04's than it is on the later year cars.
Once I was accelerating faster than normal, and crossed some relativily smooth railroad tracks just as I was shifting into 2nd. gear. Well wouldn't you know it, my car went into limp mode. The only reason I could think of to cause this to happen, is that for the slightest moment the tire must have been airborne and when I let the clutch out, it "spun". That's why I suggested disconnecting your TC. It just doesn't seem to take much for the TC to interfere with normal operations, even when the car isn't being driven aggressively. Then again, it very well may have nothing to do with your problem.
