    All cars have a 'Power Band' so to speak in that there is a specific engine RPM range wich produces the most torque.
    Sounds like either a fuel or spark problem to me (although your post was very difficult to understand).

    sounds like what happens to a v6 if you flog and thrash it, start with the basics, plugs, leads, filters etc and work up to the bigger components like fuel pump, cas, dfi module, injectors etc

    As above. Plugs, leads, coils and DFI. Then do your fuel filter and/or pump if your up for it. Check your transmission fluid, if to full, too low or black as Ernie dingos bum.

    Also check your error codes. From the sounds of the post the car gets raped alot.

    Sounds like a plug issue. Replace them 1st and see what happens.

    Sounds like you are flogging it. Drive it like normal and see what happens.
