Help! Car Not Accelerating!
When I take off quickly from first gear, after 3k rpms or so, the car stops accelerating quickly. The effect is a little jarring, and a sudden loss of power.
This problem takes place with or without traction control on. I put some injector cleaner in the fuel, and some crank case cleaner in the oil, but the problem persists. I also tried checking the codes, but there were no current codes thrown.
If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know, because I am worried about this car now.

Your probably expierencing a cylinder/s misfire condition. Look at your Check Engine Light (CEL) when the problem happens. If the CEL is flashing, it is indicating a misfire condition. While the engine is running, dring up the Diagnostics and see if you see a P-0300 DTC in the PCM module. Once you shut down the engine and restart it, the P-0300 codes clears its self!
If thats not the case, do you see any messages in the DIC like Reduced Power Mode????
