So I've got this issue with my car. It drives relatively normal up to ~ 3500RPM or so and then there is a major drop off in power. Accelerating feels compromised. I though I may be having issues with o2 readings so I checked the sensors today. I unplugged the sensor on the back of the motor and have no check engine light. I know that the sensor used to throw a code when it was unplugged previously. I am still unsure what's causing the power loss. Does this sound spark related to anyone? Thanks for the help.

though i have a 5s, when i first got the car (not realizing the lack of power) i would get on the highway and it would take forever to get up to speed. what i do now is book it down the on ramp lol i usually hit 70 at about the end (90 if im pushing it) of it so it all works out. not sure about NC, but the on and off ramps up in MA are pretty long

It was painfully slow. -------------------- |
