I am faced to an issue regarding the matter power spectra that I generate with CLASS code, making vary by a small step the CLP parameters w0 and wa.
The problem is that I get the same matter power sepctra for example between w0_up = w0 + 1e-1 and w0_down = w0 - 1e-1. I have also tried with smaller steps ( 1e-3 instead of 1e-1 ) but he result is the same.
Here the concerned part of explanatory_base.ini that I am using :

# 1) List of output spectra requested:
# - 'tCl' for temperature Cls,
# - 'pCl' for polarization Cls,
# - 'lCl' for CMB lensing potential Cls,
# - 'nCl' (or 'dCl') for density number count Cls,
# - 'sCl' for galaxy lensing potential Cls,
# - 'mPk' for total matter power spectrum P(k) infered from gravitational
# potential,
# - 'dTk' (or 'mTk') for density transfer functions for each species,
# - 'vTk' for velocity transfer function for each species
# - 'sd' for spectral distortions
# Warning: both lCl and sCl compute the C_ls of the lensing potential,
# C_l^phi-phi. If you are used to other codes, you may want to deal instead
# with the deflection Cls or the shear/convergence Cls. The relations
# between them are trivial:
# --> deflection d: Cl^dd = l(l+1) C_l^phiphi
# --> convergence kappa and shear gamma: the share the same harmonic
# power spectrum: Cl^gamma-gamma = 1/4 * [(l+2)!/(l-2)!] C_l^phi-phi
# By defaut, the code will try to compute the following cross-correlation
# Cls (if available): temperature-polarisation, temperature-CMB lensing,
# polarization-CMB lensing, CMB lensing-density, and density-lensing. Other
# cross-correlations are not computed because they would slow down the
# code considerably.
#
# Can be left blank if you do not want to evolve cosmological perturbations
# at all. (default: set to blank, no perturbation calculation)
output = mPk, tCl, lCl
#output = tCl,pCl,lCl
#output = mPk,mTk
#output = Sd
# 1.a) If you included 'tCl' in the list, you can take into account only some
# of the terms contributing to the temperature spectrum:
# - intrinsic temperature corrected by Sachs-Wolfe ('tsw' or 'TSW'),
# - early integrated Sachs-Wolfe ('eisw' or 'EISW'),
# - late integrated Sachs-Wolfe ('lisw' or 'LISW'),

#temperature_contributions = tsw, eisw, lisw, dop, pol
# 1.a.1) If one of 'eisw' or 'lisw' is turned off, the code will read
# 'early/late isw redshift', the split value of redshift z at which the
# isw is considered as late or early (if this field is absent or left
# blank, by default, 'early/late isw redshift' is set to 50)

#number_count_contributions = density, rsd, lensing, gr
# 1.c) If you included 'dTk' (or 'mTk') in the list, the code will give you by
# default the transfer function of the scale-invariant Bardeen potentials

# the following flag to 'yes' (default: set to 'no')
#extra_metric_transfer_functions = yes
# 2) If you want to consider perturbed recombination, enter a word
# containing the letter 'y' or 'Y'. CLASS will then compute the
# perturbation in the ionization fraction x_e and the baryon
# temperature, as in 0707.2727. The initial conformal time will be
# small, therefore you should use the default integrator ndf15
# (i.e. do not set 'evolver' to 0, otherwise the code will be
# slower). (default: no, neglect perturbed recombination)
#perturbed_recombination = yes
# 3) List of modes:
# - 's' for scalars,

# 3.b) Which perturbations should be included in tensor calculations?
# - write 'exact' to include photons, ultra-relativistic species 'ur'
# and all non-cold dark matter species 'ncdm';
# - write 'massless' to approximate 'ncdm' as extra relativistic species
# (good approximation if ncdm is still relativistic at the time of
# recombination);
# - write 'photons' to include only photons
# (default: set to 'massless')

# 4) Gauge
# 4.a) Gauge in which calculations are performed:
# - 'sync' or 'synchronous' or 'Synchronous' for synchronous,
# - 'new' or 'newtonian' or 'Newtonian' for Newtonian/longitudinal gauge
# (default: set to synchronous)
gauge = synchronous
# 4.b) Do you want to output the N-body gauge quantities as well?
# If you included 'dTk' or 'vTk' in the list of outputs, you may transform
# your transfer functions into the Nbody gauge by setting the following
# flag to 'yes'. This will also include the transfer function for the
# metric perturbations H_T' (exact) and gamma (approximate) in the Nbody gauge.
# See e.g. 1505.04756, and equations (A.2) and (A.5) in 1811.00904
# for more precise definitions. These calculations are more stable with
# 'gauge=synchronous' (default). To compute H_T' and gamma
# without converting the output to the Nbody gauge,
# please use the flag 'extra metric transfer functions' instead.
# Can be set to anything starting with 'y' or 'n'.

# 5) Hubble parameter : either 'H0' in km/s/Mpc or 'h' or '100*theta_s', where
# the latter is the peak scale parameter defined exactly as 100(ds_dec/da_dec)
# with a decoupling time given by maximum of visibility function (quite different
# from theta_MC of CosmoMC and slightly different from theta_* of CAMB)

# will be inferred from Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (default: set to 'BBN')
YHe = BBN
# 7) 'recombination' algorithm set to 'RECFAST' or 'HyRec'. 'HyRec' points at HyRec 2020. Its compute time is negligible compared to other CLASS modules. 'RECFAST' points at RecFastCLASS, an enhanced version of RecFast 1.5 with better integration shceme and less discontinuities. Recfast is still slightly faster than HyRec but less accurate. HyRec is better for most purposes. RecFast can still be useful for studying some particular modifications of standard recombination. Both schemes use the CLASS ODE integrators. (Default: HyRec')
recombination = HyRec
# 7.a) If recombination algorithm is set to 'RECFAST'
# the photo-ionization coefficients beta(T) for normal Recfast depend on Tmat
# This is an approximation (see e.g. 1605.03928 page 10, 1503.04827 page 2, right column)
# With 'recfast_photoion_dependence' the photo-ionization coefficient beta(T) is set to depend on
# - 'Tmat' uses beta(Tmat) depending on matter temperature
# (like in original RECFAST and in CLASS v2.x)
# - 'Trad' uses beta(Trad) depending on radiation temperature
# (while this option is theoretically more motivated, the option 'Tmat' leads to
# results which agree better with HyRec and CosmoRec. This is probably due to the
# fudge factor for the Peebles coefficient being optimized for a Tmat dependence)

# 8) Parametrization of reionization: 'reio_parametrization' must be one of

# for second helium reionization),
# - 'reio_bins_tanh' (binned history x_e(z) with tanh() interpolation
# between input values),
# - 'reio_half_tanh' (like 'reio_camb' excepted that we match the
# function xe(z) from recombination with only half a tanh(z-z_reio)),
# - 'reio_many_tanh' (arbitrary number of tanh-like steps with specified
# ending values, a scheme usually more useful than 'reio_bins_tanh'),

# enter number of bins and list of z_i and xe_i defining the free electron
# density at the center of each bin. Also enter a dimensionless paramater
# regulating the sharpness of the tanh() steps, independently of the bin
# width; recommended sharpness is 0.3, smaller values will make steps too
# sharp, larger values will make the step very progressive but with

# enter number of jumps, list of jump redhsifts z_i (central value of each
# tanh()), list of free electron density x_i after each jump, and common
# width of all jumps. If you want to end up with all hydrogen reionized
# but neglecting helium reionization, the first value of x_i in the list
# should be 1. For each x_i you can also pass the flags -1 or -2. They
# mean:
# - -1: after hydrogen + first helium recombination (so the code will
# substitute a value bigger than one based on Y_He);
# - -2: after hydrogen + second helium recombination (the code will
# substitute an even bigger value based on Y_He).
# You can get results close to reio_camb by setting these parameters to

# 8.d) If 'reio_parametrization' set to 'reio_inter': enter the number of
# points, the list of redshifts z_i, and the list of free electron
# fraction values x_i. The code will do linear interpolation between them.
# The first z_i should always be 0. Like above, for each x_i, you can also
# pass the flags -1 or -2. They mean: for -1, after the hydrogen and the
# first helium recombination (so the code will substitute a value bigger
# than one based on Y_He); for -2, after the hydrogen and the second
# helium recombination (the code will substitute an even bigger value
# based on Y_He). The last value of x_i should always be zero, the code
# will substitute it with the value that one would get in absence of
# reionization, as computed by the recombination code. (default: not set)

# 10.a) If 'varying_fundamental_constants' is set to 'instantaneous', select the redshift of the transition 'varying_transition_redshift' (default: 50). At lower redshift, the value will be the currently observed value, while at higher redshift you can specify how large the value should be by giving the ratio of the value at high redshift with respect to the currently observed one. Provide the relative value of the fine structure constant 'varying_alpha' (default: 1), and the relative value of the effective electron mass 'varying_me' (default: 1).

# of the electrons in the disk, influencing the emissivity.
# Can be set to 0.5 (aggressive scenario), 0.1 or 1.e-3 (conservative).

# Furthermore you can also specify the the eigenvalue of the accretion
# rate. It rescales the perfect Bondi case. (see e.g. Ali-Haimoud

# 5) Define the so-called injection efficiency f_eff, i.e. the factor
# determining how much of the heating is deposited at all,
# regardless of the form. There are two options to define this
# function: 'on_the_spot' or 'from_file' (default: set to 'on_the_spot').
#
# - with 'on_the_spot', the injected energy is transformed into deposited energy
# at the same redshift with efficiency f_eff. In this case the
# user can pass explicitely the value of f_eff. (default: f_eff=1)
#
# - for 'from_file' the code reads a precomputed function in an external file
# with a path set by the user (default set to "/external/heating/example_f_eff_file.dat")

# 6) Define the so-called deposition function chi, i.e the function which determines
# the amount of energy effectively deposited into the different forms (heating,
# ionization, Lyman alpha and low energy). There are several options
# - by setting 'chi_type' to 'CK_2004', the approximation by Chen & Kamionkowski 2004 is employed.
# - by setting 'chi_type' to 'PF_2005', the approximation by Padmanabhan & Finkbeiner 2005 is employed.
# - by setting 'chi_type' to 'Galli_2013_file', the approximation by Galli et al. 2013 is employed.
# - by setting 'chi_type' to 'Galli_2013_analytic', the approximation by Poulin is employed.
# interpolating Galli et al. 2013 anyltically. Use this for consistency tests with
# older versions of CLASS (2.x).
# - by setting 'chi_type' to 'heat', the whole injected energy is going
# to be deposited into heat.
# - by setting 'chi_type' to 'from_x_file' or 'from_z_file', the user can
# define own deposition functions with respect to the free electron
# fraction x_e or to redshift, respectively.
# (default set to 'CK_2004')
chi_type = CK_2004
# 6.a) If the option 'from_file' has been chosen, define the name of the file.
# Two files 'example_chix_file.dat' and 'example_chiz_file.dat' are given
# as example in external/heating. Note that 'example_chix_file.dat' has
# been computed according to the approximations of Galli et al. 2013.

# Each model depends on two parameters: the minimum concentration "c_min" from the
# Bullock et al. 2001 mass-concentration relation and the halo bloating parameter "eta_0"
# introduced in Mead et al. 2015. In Mead et al. 2015 the parameters c_min and eta_0 are fitted
# to the Cosmic Emulator dark matter only simulation (Heitman et al. 2014) and the
# hydrodynamical OWLS simulations (Schaye et al. 2010, van Daalen et al. 2011).

# - 'owls_dblim' (0.70, 3.01) fits the OWLS simulation that has extra supernova energy in wind velocity
# Set 'feedback model' to one of these names,

# anti-correlated with f_iso<0 (in the conventions of the Planck
# inflation paper this would be called fully correlated), n_iso equal

# - 'l_max_tensors' for CMB tensors (temperature, polarization)
# - 'l_max_lss' for Large Scale Structure Cls (density, galaxy
# lensing potential)
# Reducing 'l_max_lss' with respect to l_max_scalars reduces the execution

# 2.a) Enter here a description of the selection functions W(z) of each redshift
# bin; selection can be set to 'gaussian', 'tophat' or 'dirac', then pass a
# list of N mean redshifts in growing order separated by comas, 1 or N
# widths separated by comas, 1 or N bias separated by a comma, and 1 or N
# magnification bias separated by a comma. The width stands for one
# standard deviation of the gaussian (in z space), or for the half-width of
# the top-hat. Finally, non_diagonal sets the number of cross-correlation
# spectra that you want to calculate: 0 means only auto-correlation, 1
# means only adjacent bins, and number of bins minus one means all
# correlations (default: set to 'gaussian',1,0.1,1.,0.,0)
#
# NOTE: For good performances, the code uses the Limber approximation for
# nCl. If you want high precision even with thin selection functions,
# increase the default value of the precision parameters
# l_switch_limber_for_nc_local_over_z and
# l_switch_limber_for_nc_los_over_z; for instance, add them to the
# input file with values 10000 and 2000, instead of the default 100
# and 30.

P_k_max_h/Mpc = 1.
#P_k_max_h/Mpc = 100.0
#P_k_max_1/Mpc = 3.0
# 3.a.1) If you want to use a different value for k_max in the primordial and
# perturbations structures, specify
# 'primordial_P_k_max_h/Mpc' in units of h/Mpc or
# 'primordial_P_k_max_1/Mpc' in units of 1/Mpc
# to define the maximum value of k for primordial power spectrum. By doing
# so, 'P_k_max_h/Mpc' will only apply to perturbations. If unspecified,
# 'primordial_P_k_max_h/Mpc' is assumed to be the same as 'P_k_max_h/Mpc'.
