   Hey.. I've got a problem that i've only had start the past couple of days.. When in any gear, i hit 3500 RPM to 4000 RPM my car seems like somethings up, it's not just me, passengers can feel and hear it too. The revs just sort of drop and don't increase until it reaches 4k. Then it goes as if normal.. It's weird to explain. But my guess is somethnigs being restricted, any suggestions?

   Check your spark plugs. Also go for diagnostic of your ecu.

   How much would a diagnostic cost?

   Spark plugs or coil packs!

   It's only when i'm trying to pick up a bit more speed, it just drops in revs at about 3.5k. Then goes normal after 4 it's really weird to explain, going to have a mate take a look at it. He considered he service it first..
