split second power loss

my camaro suffers from a split second power loss when about 90 to 100% throttle. it feels more like a eletrical problem. and it dosent act like its starving for gas. any ideas?

Re: split second power loss

also it does this split second power loss midway in the rpm range say around 3000rpms.so i have power right off the bat. up too the power loss. after the powerloss throught the rest of the rpm range.

Re: split second power loss

Sounds similar to what I experienced with a vacuum leak.

Mine was a leaking vacuum control valve to the HVAC controls.
Is there a hissing sound that comes from behind your dash?
