01 GT losing power. Help me

Ok I have an 01 GT that has about 36650 miles on it. Today I was driving home and decided to get on it a little bit. Started off doing fine. Then right around 4300rpm it felt like it had a major drop in power. I only did it up to third gear but I could tell that it was feeling like it was losing power at around 4300 rpm is all 3 of the gears. I was just wondering what could be the possible cause of this problem. Any suggestions would be helpful. I tried to search this topic and did not come up with anything on it. So if i missed something please let me know.

Re: 01 GT losing power. Help me

this is a very common problem.... check to make sure that you have both of these rivets in you stock intake.(they are not in mine b/c i have an aftermarket intake). you should have one in each of these holes.

Yeah that is it they are missing off the that also might explain why it was acting normal today. I'll try to pick up some replacements for it and see if that works thanks
