There's not much else I can say to describe the problem. The engine runs amazing from idle to 4000, but then at 4k I can feel it stop pulling [as in the power just seems to stop] and it just kind of hesitates there and bucks a little bit. I dont want to blow it up so I upshift as soon as it starts doing it. I currently have no CELs, I checked the plug wires earlier and they look basically brand new and all seem to be connected properly. The prev owner was a member here and had NGK plugs put in. I'm thiking of replacing the plugs but not sure what else would cause this problem. Thanks for any input. |

I'm having the same problem, but there is no bucking or sputtering. I just have dramatically reduced power at 4k, and almost NO power at 5.5k. New timing belt, thrice-cleaned throttle body, and still nothing.
I DID, however, have the problem of the car lurching as if to lose all power for a split second above 3k, turns out the plug was somehow partially yanked out of the cam sensor and the sensor itself was damaged. |
