Car is losing power
Hey guys... I really need help with this situation. Here it goes:
At or around 3000 rpms under moderate load the car goes way lean and loses power. It's almost as if it's not getting enough fuel. This only happens when I creep up through the rpms, if I rev fast enough it will fly through this dead spot.
My thoughts are that the split second box is coming on at 2900 and 3psi of boost and that's about what the gauge says when this happens. I'm wondering if it's expecting more gas and isn't getting it. Please help if anyone has had this problem. Some people have spoke about limp mode, and I'm wondering if that is the symptom. This problem is slightly intermittent but has been somewhat reproduceable on demand.
No CEL lights have been indicated.
Thanks in advance to anyone who reads this or can shed some light on the situation.
