m271 power loss
so.....for the last like 2 or 3 days I've noticed a loss in power.
Normally I can feel the car pulling at least a little at any RPM....but now there's nothing. It's really slow up to like 3500 RPM and then it starts to pull again at 4000. It has been really hot these last few days, but I know what the car feels like when it's heat soaked....and this is different. And it like doesn't like to upshift till like 4000....even if I try to make....it could just be like the tranny lag on the auto
I did the ECU reset....it kinda helped with the lag, but I still have the power loss problem.
Ideas???

shivi - See my comments to Mb_racing from Sweden - also new post. I know you know your way around but is the car throwing any codes? It can be so many things. Plugs, MAF, O2 sensors, leaking cam sensors. Clogged air filter - The deaded head problem & so it goes on.
Pull those codes & let us know.
