Power Loss Please Help
my car seems to be experiencing a fairly bad power loss at a complete stop,
but seems to have normal/decent power from a higher mph.
car will squeel the tires between gears, but not from a dead stop
I've been trying to pinpoint this problem, any advice is welcome.
also what is a good way to check my egr system?

idles "decent" rpms don't jump around really but "spikes" alittle
plugs, wires, driver side o2, cap & rotor, egr valve, tps, coil, and map sensor all recently changed
maf cleaned (electrical parts cleaner), cleaned filter
btw I noticed when I changed the tps the "pintle" on the tb didn't match up straight immediatly

sounds like you need a set of shorty headers and a bad ass tune by Hypertech.

UPDATE - Drove the car home from school and noticed it pulls harder when I go WOT at 20mph than a stand still(no traction breaking)
maybe this problem is transmission related then?

can you feel every last ounce of your 285 horsepower? o wait you have an intake elbow on there so you are pretty much past 300 now... and that spark plug job i did on your car was probably good for another 15-40 hp lol
