Well I know Im due for a new clutch soon. I have a problem when the weather gets hot that my EP wont start up.... I turn the key and NOTHING???...
As well as this problem... I have had issues with getting up to speed. I am at about 55 MPH in 5th gear when I stomp on the gas to go faster. It sounds/feels like the RPMs are dropping and then slowley go up....as if the car looses power and stuggles to get back up to speed. This is all in 3rd, 4th, and 5th gear.... 1st and 2nd pull like a MOFO.

Anyone or EVERYONE have ideas of what could be causing these problems? I just changed my plugs this weekend to some NGK Iridium Spark Plugs. Car drove better but now is getting back to its normal behavior. Here are pics of the plugs I pulled which I changed like 10,000-12,000 miles ago:

Sounds like a fuel pump to me. How many miles on the car?

Do a ECU reset and idle relearn.

I was also thinking it may be the fuel pump... might have to check that out.
