Wierd engine/acceleration problem

Okay this is freakin wierd and it puzzles me so maybe some of you can help me out here. Sometimes when I am punching it at full throttle my car will increase the rpms and it sounds like my car is going faster but it is actually only slowly increasing in acceleration. Is there a leak somewhere on something, did I mess something up, or is my engine just retarded. Oh when this happens I ussually let off the gas or shift and it goes away. It happens maybe 2 or 3 times every two weeks or so. Thank you for any help.

I had/have the same problem... your boost guage climbs and your car doesn't seem to respond? I regapped my plugs, (which weren't gapped right) and checked for boosts leaks (found one). It doesn't really do it anymore, maybe once in a great great while. Also, If your BOV is vented(like mine), the rich condition in between shifts can foul out the plugs, causing this same sensation under boost.

Re: Wierd engine/acceleration problem

How would I go about checking for boost leaks?
