Default Got My Car - Has An Issue

I'm exhausted... just got home (9:30 pm EST) after riding a Greyhound from 7:40 pm to 8:30 am this morning and having gotten up at 2:00 am yesterday. Ugh.... it's amazing what coffee and sheer will can do, but pushing 50 it just isn't happening like it did at 25. LOL.

Okay, it's a diamond in the rough. Will post some pics. Black on black nav car with a hair over 50k miles on it. Typical broken ashtray and clouded headlamps, but I got it for $14.6k, so I don't think I did too too bad considering that these aren't plentiful.

Here's what's up though that has me concerned. Sometimes when I step into it, it falls flat and will downshift, but it feels like there's no boost. Other times (mostly) I"m blasted back into the seat the way things should be. Also, it seems to cut in and out very briefly at highway speeds. Ignition? Boost controller (do these cars have one?)

I'm perplexed, but not panicked because I have a bumper-to-bumper warranty for 3,000 miles/90 days and a 12 month/12,000 mile powertrain warranty. I was hoping someone here has seen this before.

It's going to go over the Chuck Eddy Chrysler-Dodge this coming week for them to look over once I contact the warranty providers. I don't see how they can tell me I can't take the car to the people who actually know how to fix them. In the meantime, I'd appreciate any feedback, but please don't make fun of my car or put me down saying I paid too much because this was what I could afford for now.
