This issue that I have with my '96 sho comes and goes. I originally thought it was an imrc problem but it turned out not to be since I still have this problem now that I wired open my secondaries and did away with the imrc. I will try my best to help you guys understand what is happening (occasionally). Sometimes it will only happen once a week and sometimes it will happen for 3 days in a row. My car gets these power surge like symtoms. Cruising along at any given speed it will just dog out and have very little power, like its bogging down (very similar to driving a carburated vehicle that is getting too much fuel), but if I stay on the throttle steady it will take off and go after a few seconds or sometimes minutes it takes, when this happens it seems like the engine itself is running perfectly fine (no misses or sputtering). The best way I can describe it is that it feels exactly like if you were driving a car or truck with a turbo and when the turbo spools up and kicks in you get that boost of power and take off, that is exactly what it feels like to me. I originally was thinking maybe also a tranny slip, but the rmps don't jump up and down like would happen if it was slipping. When this is happening, if I put the pedal down sometimes it will take off and go and other times it won't, the car will downshift correctly but still have the bogging and no power. Like I said, this happens very randomly and seems like no weather or temperature factors affect if its going to happen or not, just very random. Sorry this is so long but any and all suggestions and ideas are greatly appreciated, I have never seen this type of issue happen in any other of the vehicles I have owned in my lifetime, and also have never heard of anyone I know having any symptoms like this in any vehicles. Thanks again for anyone's input.
