I have an issue, I am going to check the codes but in the mean time thought to see if anyone has had the issue.
02 MCS - 78k
Doesnt matter which gear but if you accelerate bryond about 5k RPMs, the engine losses all power. First time this happened, I thought made I hit the read line and it was the limiter. I had to pull over to a complete stop and restart the engine. Now when it happens I have learned I can throw the clutch in and turn the engine off and back on. Not safe either but seems better than stopping on the freeway.
It is definitely RPM related and not speed. Under testing the exact RPM varies, from 5200-6000. I never have issue restarting. The Service engine light will come on and typically stay on for about 10 starts (a week or so) if I don't hit the mystical RPM!
Hoping to get the codes read today to find out more.
Only an other possibly related issue, occasionally when the car isn't started for a few days, it will idle rough for a few seconds, kinda sounding like an old Subaru.
