Hi
for past few months my max is very sluggish under 2.5-3K rpm.
it happens when the engine is cold, but seems to disappear when its warm.
what happens is.. i start driving with steady acceleration.. (does not matter if i press gas pedal a little or i go WOT)
car is really slow and i mean slow... (it takes like 2-3 seconds to reach 3000 rpm on 1st gear !!!!!)
and then all of a sudden after the magic 2.5-3K it kicks off and almost immediately jumps to 4K, shifts to second gear... and it runs normal. until i stop and start driving again. it seems like its happening only on 1st gear. (or maybe on 2nd and up is not that noticable)

can it be a MAF issue?

i'll try to find it and try it... i read that thread but it looks like nobody tried it yet.. ;-)

but does my issue sound like a MAF issue? or should i look for something else?
