[s-cars] cut-off under WOT

Interestingly my car developed the same problem just yesterday.  I was
cruising along as normal, then tried to accelerate from a light and
got a "brick wall"/rev-limiter effect.  I stopped, inspected, saw
nothing wrong, wiggled the coilpacks anyways, then shut off and
restarted the car, microsoft style.  Drove out of the lot, and the
problem was gone!?!????? (mostly ?)

It didn't resurface for the rest of the trip, but I occasionally saw
the check engine light come on very briefly (<1 second) but that was
it.

Fluids look good, no weird sounds or anything.  Kind of stumped.
Otherwise the car ran like a champ, and not having to stop and
reinflate my tire before every trip is nice...if only I could prevent
running out of washer fluid.
