I was merginging into high speed traffic today and was hitting the throttle pretty hard all the way up to fourth and when I went into fourth, my RPMs would not go past 3500 even flooring the pedal. I backed off the throttle and slipped it into nuetral and revved it up if few times with no problem and slipped it back into fourth and had the samething happen. I then down shifted to third and so on and it seemed normal even after blipping the throttle in between each gear. What do think that was or is. Haven't had a chance to try and duplicate it again and I'm kind of leary on doing it again. Could this been an Egas problem, clutch or transmission that caused what happened? Would like some thoughts. TIA!

 

I've had the same thing on a couple of occasions. I figured it was maybe bad gas, or an intermittent MAF problem, but that was just speculation. I couldn't reproduce it at all.

 

I think I can speak for many of us when I say, I hope you don't reproduce the bad gas.

 

PSM maybe? Did the any lights go off?

 

I'd say it was a MAF problem except that it only occurred in one gear...

 

Sounds like psm or a maf dysfunction.

 

No lights and no sputtering.

 

Here's and idea, pull your pedal back "just a little" and see if your plug didn't come out from the pedal. Once mine did and it was kinda funny, evey so often if felt like my car was lacking in power but then it would come back......

I plugged it back in correctly and it was all smooth sailing from there...

It's worth a try....
