    Anybody listening, I need help. I have had a couple of issues with my charger srt-8 superbee.

    First problem, from a complete stop to full throttle around 60 miles an hour I get a lull in the excelleration, a sputter of some sort then it clears out.

    Second. sometimes from a complete stop or when in motion, if i hammer the throttle it will sag, the engine will have a lull an then it will pick up.

    Third, at times in low speeds where I am breaking then try to step on the throttle, i get no response and have to put in neutral then back in drive.

    I told you I need help. :help:

    I'm no Charger expert but it sounds like transmission issues as well as possibly fuel/spark issues.

    I'd wait to see what Charger owners with experience have to say though :).

    Um, could be PCM issue and/or you may have a transmission leak. Both are things you can ask your Dodge/Chrysler service tech about because they're aware of these issues and can fix them under warranty. I had the funky tranny issue during acceleration and it turned out I had a slow seep/leak from the tranny because of a faulty o-ring.

    Comms between the TCM and PCM. There is a TBS out for the TCM flash that will cure those issues.

    The first issue you stated is the not so sweet spot. Too high of a speed/RPM to down shift.

    What, if any, mods do you have on the car?

    Hmmm....I've noticed the lagging when I hammer the gas getting on the highway in second gear....Maybe I'll have the dealer check it out. I have to have them look at a faulty washer fluid sensor anyway.
