So I was on the freeway today and went to pass a car but when the car reved to 4rpms it felt like the fuel cut off and it didnt' want to go. the car has normal power all the way to 4rpms then it does this weird thing. does anyone have an idea.

Could be a vacum leak or bad bypass valve, did it make any noise when it reached 4k rpm, like escaping air or something??

leak...? I had that same type of issue and one of my intercooler hoses was popped off. ut leaks could be in a thousand diffferent places and not sure whic could cause this specific symptom. The intercooler was the pb for me

it felt like fuel cut off?
plugs?

maybe clogged fuel filter, I know plenty of people that went through that.

So after driving like an ass on the way home...it turns out to only happen sometimes, I couldn't hear any out of the normal sounds. I will change the plugs today. Is there a DYI on changing the fuel filter?

Check your TBB, I recently had this same issue (thought it was an IC hose that popped off or the like), finally found that the TBB had somehow slipped off on the bottom portion.
