If so, then you have the wonderful Air intake Snorkel Syndrome. I call it the ***, because that's how you feel after you figure out the problem. If you are still on the stock intake, go check your intake snorkel, which is the plastic thing that connects to the front of the engine bay and that sends fresh air into the stock airbox. If the two clips aren't there to fasten it down, then it gets sucked up against the hood, which cuts off the engine's air supply.
Go check it now, and if both fasteners are gone, get 2 out of your trunk lining. They are reusable, so don't break them. Just lightly push the center piece down, and then pull the clip out. To reuse them, push that center piece back out through the top, put the clip in, then press down on that center piece until it clicks into place.
Voila, send me $50 via Paypal, kthx.

I have no fricking idea but i know i am missing the two snorkel fasteneres that hod my snorkel down. This might be why i felt like i have been losing power in 4th gear as well. War your my hero. How much do they cost to get from the dealer?

If you can get them at Lancershop for a decent price, then check that out, but I haven't seen them listed anywhere yet.
