whats up guys im having a bit of an issue.
last night at 65F degrees about 2000 meters elevation i was driving and went to pass a car and floored it WOT and at around high 4k rpm the car suddenly lost all power and felt like an experience of when you miss a gear in a manual car.
at first i thought it was a transmission issue but noticed it was still shifting fine except it was sluggish as hell. no smoke no noise, was able to drive home but couldn't even keep up with traffic. at idle it sounds like a tractor barely stays on idling roughly 500rpm.
what can it be? spark plug, wires, coil pack , sensors?

Because of it hapenning suddenly like you describe, I'd suspect something like the timing belt slipping, or one of the variable intake throttle plates came loose and was swallowed by the engine. What is the timing belt and tensioner history on the vehicle and have you ever inspected the lower intake butterflys?

Problem Solved!! luckily it wasn't all that, i had thought about it at first but the motor was built only almost 8k ago (butterfly valve and new timing built along with the rest of the build)
i bought some quality grade contact cleaner and went ahead and polished the battery terminals, the ground contact cable
then went ahead and removed all fuses sprayed some cleaner, removed every electrical sensors above the intake manifold cleaned them, removed all three coil packs cleaned that aswell as the spark plug wire terminals
lastly removed the intake, deeply cleaned the mass air flow, throttle body, IAC and attached sensors.
put everything together and this baby started back up 100% normal. actually idles more steady a bit higher than before 900rpm with no shutters. drove a couple of miles and drove great tomorrow ill hit the highway and find out forsure.
i believe it was due to a loose connection to a coil or dirty MAF, thanks for the advice anyways

An IAC valve won't effect anything other than idling conditions.

i was under the impression that a faulty motor on the IACV would cause it to malfunction and not retract causing the engine to not run properly in any RPM.

I don't think the IAC valve can let any unmetered air into the engine, so it shouldn't have any effect on normal running conditions. Even if it is unmetered air, the amount the IAC valve is capable of allowing in shouldn't have anywhere near the effect on the engine that you're experiencing.
