really theres nothing i can think of that would effect power in first gear except traction control.

if it was your clutch slipping it would do it just as bad in 2nd gear...

are you hearing any kind of clunking? maybe your getting some false knock.

maybe your assometer is out of tune

you pretty much need to hook it to a scanner.
