Exclamation Flat tire then !?!

OK so coming back from UCI, on the 55 North I got a flat tire. Pulled to the side and replaced with donut and started to drive.the G started to whack out on me. VDC was flashing, SRS light turned on as well as the CHECK ENGINE SOON. After trying to accellerate , it wont let me, I hear Chattering from the engine and it wont go above 1k RPM. It wont let me accelerate. I pull over again, turn off and turn on. Drove fine with VDC off.

WHAT HAPPENED !??!?

Thanks

Your VDC is actin a fool with that donut on there. Dont worry, will go away once you get the right size tire back on there

thats pretty weird. i had my donut on my G for about 2 or 3 days and i had no problems, only light that was on was the tire pressure light. but hopefully ur car will be back to normal once you get a new tire put on.

Same thing happen to my car with the donut...
I had to turn VDC off, cause your lil donut burns out and VDC will come on and try to keep you from losing control...Since you donut is much smaller and rotates more specially if you step on it to get back on the Freeway/Hwy.

Only explanation I thought of when it happend...
Got a new tire and everything runs ok and all lights went away.

I keep a plugging kit and compressor in my trunk.
Plug the flat and patch it later. (assuming it is pluggable)
