Engine idles fine and everything, on my way home from work it started stumbling at 3k rpm and felt like the car was gonna die out so i was ready to pull over, but it kept going and I just got on the throttle hoping to get home, it was just misfiring/stumbling after about 3500 rpm,I got more on the throttle to at least hit 5k rpm and it would go up but its just struggling, ........brrrrrrrrrrrehhhhhh

:mad:

Gonna look over the motor once its cooled down.

Sounds like either a bad ignitor or a leak in the intercooler piping.
