Has this happend to any of you guys?

Has this happend to any of you guys? I started my car and put it into drive and once i got on the main road i noticed my car feeling very slow, or like the supercharger wasnt kicking on. So i pulled over and restarted the car and everything was fine after that? I hate stuff like this that happens because theres no way the dealer can duplicate this problem..
let me know what you guys think it might have been please..

thanks Vimal

once...when my bro took my car out for the day. it happened 2 mins away from the house on the way back. He said if feels like it just lost tons of power and wouldn't downshift climbing the hill. that was the only time that happened, and it never happened again to me while i'm driving the car. That was a long time ago btw way before i started modding.

I sometimes have this issue with my car. I will be driving along and it feels like it has very little power. Sometimes the issue is the tranny not dropping down a gear (always in the 2k-3k range). Other times I wonder if it is just me used to the power or if it is the i/c pump. Only thing is there is no rhyme or reason to to the feeling of no power. I guess I really need to run the OBDII logger and keep an eye on the sensors.

Nothing
It happened to me once, when the car was almost brand new(about 800km). I got on the highway and when I reached about 90kph, the car just stayed there. It wouldn't accelerate at all. I slowed down to about 60 and floored it, but it just stayed at 60. I then pulled over and switched the car off. After I started the car, the problem was gone. I took the car to the dealer, but they couldn't find anything wrong. It hasn't happened since.

My I/C waterpump just went out too....

The same thing just happened to me. Felt like the supercharger just quit working. The dealership has ordered a new I/C waterpump.

i think most of the time it's the ECU that's shorting out.
