Today i drove my car about 55 miles fine, i parked it in the garage, then i took it out about 3 hours later and in low rpm range it felt like it was bogging, like i was running out of gas. I got gas just to make sure. Then it still did it in low rpm range , I parked it then drove it 20 minutes later, and now it boggs through the entire rpm range, every gear. Any idea ?

bad fuel pump ?
cloged fuel filter ?

shes never done this

btw i havent boosted in over 200 miles, and the fuel pressure gauge reads fine (42) as usuall, maybee i need to lower it to 38 ?

Thanx

p.s. just guessing, do you guys think i can make it to skool and back tommorow ? (50miles round trip) or no way !

Check your spark plugs, your problem sounds like the same situation I had with my Prelude, and it turned out the spark plugs were fouled. I'm not too sure what else it may be, but I would check plugs first. Good luck.

Thanx for the help, if they are fouled, what will they look like on average ?

That link has some general pictures to go by, with my Prelude they had a lot of carbon build up, which looked like black soot on the plugs. Plugs are really cheap too, it definitely wouldn't hurt if they haven't been changed in a while. Again, good luck.

Holy Moly !

so i reset the ecu, i took it for a ride and whoa, its worse, it eaven staled, but anyhow, it sounds like a freeking harly davison, and mabey like a carberated car, i can feel it in the shifter too.
