Weird Stuff, lack in power

Hi All!


Wondering if anyone has yet to have a similar issue?
Driving wife's f25 35i, clicked shifter over in sport to pass, everything is dandy. Downshifts into 7th, accelerated just fine, used pedals to upshift into 8th. A few minutes later, trying to pick up a little speed, downshift into 7th, get on the go pedal and there is no "go" to speak of. Tried dropping another gear, same story. Engine revs increase, but no acceleration. Tried putting the shifter back in "normal auto", it went back to high gear and continues to cruise. Floor it and transmission reacts by downshifting, but yet again no power or acceleration. No codes or lights, no extra noises. Only other abnormal indication was a high idle of about 1k rpm. Turning the car off and back on seems to have cleared the issue, back to normal idle and power delivery.

Ideas?

Could be, but wouldn't that throw a code (boost related)? Also had the charge pipe fail a few months ago, so getting it home with no boost, it would still accelerate Ok, just missing some umph. In this case it would refuse to pick up any speed above what it started with. I was leaning more in the direction of something ecu related. Thanks for the input!
