Loss of Power
I have an SRT with 14,000 miles. A month ago I was sitting at idle for quite some time due to accident. When I went to give it some gas around 60 it just did not respond. Did this all the way home.
I did notice when the car is cold the pickup seems to be there and then goes away again.
Assume from what I read here it is the IC pump.
Plan to take it to the dealer since I have extended warranty. Just have to wait until we have some decent weather.
Still a fun car and can't wait to get the performance back.

Re: Loss of Power
If I was a betting man I would go with the IC Pump. Welcome to the IC pump club.

Re: Loss of Power
Don't be so quick to jump on the IC pump bandwagon.
Others have found problems with the air temp sensor to cause the same symptoms.
I had
I had the same problem I was told that the IC pump was going bad and to get a Johnson Pump to cure my problem. So I spent $170 got the pump, installed it and...you guessed it, same problem.
Woody told me to move the heat exchanger higher up into the air flow (free mod). I did that and have been problem free ever since. That includes while running stacked pulleys.
Might be worth a try. Worked for me!
Of course now I'm running the Super Cooler on both cars. Still no overtemp problems!

Re: Loss of Power
Thanks for the updates. As soon as I can dig(snow) the car out of the garage I will take it to the dealership since I bought the extended warranty.
Will keep sensor in mind as well.

Re: Loss of Power
Probably was 80 degrees where you were ! Glad you are back to share our misery. I can't wait to get mine out either. haven't driven it for two weeks now. In fact the last time I went anywhere was when we got together that Sunday. Oh well Burtonsville is only 5-6 short weeks away even sooner if it warms up in March.
