1st wide open about 5500, droop in power, second gear 5000- 5500 droop, third power up to 4000-5500 droop. Does this sound familiar??

PM me if you wanna. If the above looks like yours you can contact me to understand this. I see that you tried to pass and lost power, but I would like to get more of your details. There is a lot of haten going on with the I/C pumps and Iam trying to get more data to track this and related power losses.''

Woody, Enjoy

The dude is right , get that code before doing all the work, as I believe that your car runs normally without WOT operation?
If I drive the car normal and not get on it, it's fine. But if I floor it and hits redline, then shifts, its going into limp mode! Like it is running on 4 cylinders! Then I have to pull over and shut the engine off and restart it! Then all the power is back, but engine light is on. Then when i get home, I un-hook the battery and hook it back up, and presto the engine light goes out! This has happen about 6 time now! I dont think it has anything to do with I/C pump because this is worse, like the motor is running 4 cylinders and the whole car is shaking! I will keep all of you updated, I dont think I have much of a choice but drop the pulley kit and play dumb at the dealership!
