I had recently posted a question about my car that has not yet been answered but I have some more input on it. I was testing it some more today and searching online. It starts fine idle sounds decent I really notice no difference from before the problem. So then I give the gas pedal a quick tap and it revs up 600 or so rpms instantly and maintains it for about 3 or 4 seconds before returning to normal idle. The AAA guy said it sounded like the injectors but I dont know how credible he is. Also its like its governed at 4000 rpms (when I floor it) and when I let off its like it wants to konk out and sometimes it does other it just drops back down to idle. I am confused, it shows no service lights or anything I was reading that if the converter is bad that could act as a governor. Is there anything else that could do that? Thank you for any help you can give me.

I just drove the car around and when I give it gas when it is in gear I lose power. If I hit a sweet spot I can get it just a few hundred rpms higher but not much. And it still only revs up to 4000 rpms in park and im hearing higher than normal air sound from the engine, my car is supercharged I have no idea if that makes a difference, as well as the ses light has come on which I will be checking that out in a few will reply back with code.
