maybe it isn't my clutch or transmission that's messed up. I just played around with the car in first gear, I opened full trottle in first and it felt more like the fuel wasn't being burned properly as If the engine wasn't getting enough fuel or air. The hessitation lasted until 3,500 RPM then the kick comes in. Then I shut the car off, then attempt to restart it, it begins to idle like it's about to shut off. could the TPS be bad?

 

If your turbo, and your running the afc hack, then that explains the hard starts when hot (hold the gas 1/2 throttle when your cranking it right until it starts).

If you drive a honda, that explains the no power below 3500rpms. Try revving the **** out of it and dumping the clutch. That'll skip over that "dead spot" we all pretend doesn't exist.

 

I drove a friends car, same year and everything he didn't have that issue. Could this TPS cause this problem?
