ever since i got my car back from getting some things done (came back with more problems then i sent it in with :mad: ), everytime i accelerate to over ~5000rpm at over 40% throttle the motor loses all power and jerks forward then a little less then a second later resumes where it left off. the car used to do this much more rarely before i took it in but only in cold weather so i chalked it up to being fuelcut but the way hits now feels more like the car is missing almost. any ideas?

If you have a Norris Designs chip then your not hitting the fuel cut because that chip removes the cut completely, check your plugs and coils, it sounds like the plug gap is too large for the amount of boost your running but your sig says your running Denso plugs and your not supposed to re-gap them are you?

the chip's not installed yet. the densos are at the gap they came at and it says you arent supposed to gap them.

If the chips not in then it is probably the fuel cut then.
