Default Seems like loss of power under load while driving

when i drive my SC300 normal, with slow starts and easy throttle, it drives fine. But if i pass someone or just get into the throttle in general it seems to almost buck slightly from about 2500rpm and either stops or does it where i cant feel it anymore at around 4k rpm. I dont believe its the trans slipping because my RPM does not jump up or down. anyone had this problem?

Yes, I had that problem. Bad fuel pump. Replace it with oem or wahlbro and replace fuel filter. Try fuel filter first. Mine was original which caused the pump to over work. The pump never failed completely, just lost power at like 2k rpm.

Fuel delivery and the load sensor should be checked first
