Need help !!! please look

I'm having a power engine problem.. basically as the my evo 8 hits 3k rpm i loose power and the the rpms jump and then settle back to 3k rpm then giving me power. Its most noticeable in 3rd gear and up, but still present through all the gears. The problem seem to start after we had a cold front come through Portland a few weeks ago.

So does anybody have any ideas of what might be going on. The car has only 20K miles on it and is completely stock..

Again please help!!!

If the rpm's jump and and the mph stays the same, that'd be the clutch.

Well I would say bring it up to 2500 rpms then floor it, if the rpms jump with no increase in movement your clutch is shot, if not check the connection of you spark plug wires and even check your sensors, TPS, or you MAF and see if there is any problems there
