Hi everyone, first post here but have read and learned so much from everyone thus far!
I've owned my car from new and have done oil changes between 5-7k miles, and use 93 top tier fuel. Stock tune with the only modification being a tcr axle back exhaust. I'm experiencing a noticeable bucking or what seems like a misfire for a few seconds while driving in 6th gear around 58-60 mph coming down from the crest of a small hill. This also happens on flat ground rolling along at about 3-5% throttle around 1500rpm. This is much more pronounced with the ac on and goes away if I get into the throttle a tad more. For those in MA this is most consistently occurring on route 1 where there are small rolling hills. It's been in the high 80's and into the 90's so this could play a roll but there seems to be an underlying problem I'm looking to track down.
There are no codes stored which makes me a bit hesitant to bring it to the dealer even though its under warranty. My local dealer is notorious for giving the "there are no codes so there's nothing wrong" or "your exhaust is causing that and we don't cover it". Looking at threads it looks like it could be a diverter valve problem but I'm not in boost at all when this happens.
Appreciate the help everyone!
