Car;
97 Eagle Talon ESI Automatic

Mods;
CAI

Symptoms;
Car has no acceleration between idle and 2,500rpm. Between 3K and 4500rpm it runs just fine. >4500rpm it has no power again. Also, I have noticed that I get a bit better response from the engine if I push the gas pedal to a 1/4 throttle or less. If I get to half throttle it is less effective than at a 1/4.

Replaced already list;

Spark Plug Wires
Coil Pack
ICM tested - Good

Ever figure out your issue? I have the same thing happening now 97 Eclipse GS with automatic 420a
I had a hole in the downpipe right next to the 02 sensor. The vehicle was tuned and had a decent size turbo, so when it got over 12 psi boost the 02 was getting a bad AFR. The 02 sensor was also bad so I replaced it.
