Engine goes flat in second gear
Not sure what is happening, but under fairly heavy acceleration, (highway on ramps, etc.), the car pulls strongly through 1st gear, but falls flat after shifting into second.
At first, I thought my shift linkage might have loosened up and I was jumping from 1st to 4th, but that's not happening.
MSD box has rev limiter set at 5500rpm, which I am hitting. Will the box cut the ignition for a few seconds or does it fire-in instantly after you drop below the limit rpm?
The clutch is not slipping, car is not missing, just no umph...
Accelerates well when passing in all gears.
Help!
Thanks,
Dan
