my car has been doing something strange for a while now but im just now getting around to posting about it. when im going through the rpms in all gears at 3500 there is a power jump. it almost feels like boost coming on. this is anytime im accelerating, but more noticeable when im just going normally or slowly. any ideas?
another thing... for a while now, when i start the car up after ive driven and turned it off, but its still warm, the first time through the gears it smokes at every shift. it was doing it the other night so i stopped and checked it out and it actually smokes for a long time, but stops as soon as i go through all of the gears. even if i rev it for a while. does that make any sense?

Is your car an -SE? The 6-ports open up around there.

yeah i thought about that but i didnt think that was this pronounced. it really feels like boost coming on or possibly a small shot of n20
