So I was driving today and from 2-3 Rd gear around 5k rpm there is a flat spot in my acceleration it's suddenly stops. It's as if I backed off the accelerator for a split second.
Can anyone shine some light on this topic for me
Thank you in advance

Has your car been tuned? what mods? Does it do it all the time or is this the first time?

Maybe your fuel pump? I've had the same problem and it was my fuel pump fell off it's bracket and it was floating around in my fuel tank.

Today motor completely turned off when I was accelerating out of a corner.. gave the fuel tank a tap from underneath the motor kicked over for a split second and died out so I'm certain it's the pump..

where did you get a replacement pump may I asked? I replaced mine with a 2nd hand one and I rather have a new one.
