Hi all, I'm new to the forum.
I've searched online for what can cause this and have come up short. I've got a 2003 with the 4A tranny and 270,000km on it. On hard acceleration to get onto the highway or going up a hill the engine stumbles until it gets to about 4500 RPM, then it's like a turbo kicks in. I've had this car since new (my wife drove it), and it always seemed to lack power at the 3000-4500 RPM range. But now there's a definite stumbling and a P0325 code on the CEL. I've seen possible causes on other posts, but none of them have the engine smooth out and pull at 4500+ RPM. Has anyone here experienced this?
