How many miles? Aux ports working? Stuck injector? How do your plugs look? What exactly do you mean by no power below 4k? Is it super slow to get to 4k then it moves quickly? Need more detail and maybe some videos. Happy holidays!

So you're saying that it doesn't move at all or that it only moves after 4000rpm?
