On my 3L, I've been having an issue where occasionally (or almost always some times...) my car completely looses power. I first noticed it when I went autocrossing last week at about 5500+ RPM in second gear. It happened a few times and it would just be like shutting the car off, the power was GONE, not just a little hesitation. Of course, I would stick the clutch in immediately, and it would come back. Every time it happens, the PATS light on the dash comes on for a few seconds. At first I thought that it only seemed to happen when I was in second gear and heavy on the throttle, but it did it for me in first, second, and third gear earlier today. Each time it seems like it was at about 3500-3700 RPM. I drove this car all last week and had no problems except at the autocross, and now today it's happened about 10 times. I have a feeling that it has something to do with PATS, but I really don't know where to start. I have an xcal, but I don't know how to use it to datalog. It doesn't feel like it did in my 2.5 when the fuel pump was dying, and this one already has an FSVT pump installed. Any input is appreciated.
