Hesitation, strange noise @ 7Krpm, flashing CEL
having a strange issue with the car. When I hit 7K and rising through 8K, the engine hesitates and makes a strange throbbing noise, power is reduced and the CEL flashes until i dip below 7K.
Anyone experience this before? I found a few threads with similar symptoms, but not quite the same. The CEL does not stay lit after i drop revs below 7K.

Hmmm..interesting. I had the CEL come on solid 2 weeks ago, and when the wife took it in they said "you flooded it" but I think i would have known if I had flooded the car.
Guess I'll call them and demand new plugs then and see if they'll pony up. I'll also try to get the latest PCM flash put on there, what's current, R?
