i reved it up in neutrel and everythins OK

anyone have any idea what could be wrong?

Cypher0117

do u have a manual or automatic trans.. and does it bog down at all rpms or just when you are starting?

vg7z

its a manuyal

it doesnt bog in neutral but in gear

it bogs mostly in 1st gear, at first ONLY WOT, but now it bogs at light throttle

Cypher0117

does it make any noise? or does it just bog down.

vg7z

no noise

just bogs and stutters has a hard time acceleratiing

e jay one

when you slam the pedal does it bog then go? check the timing.

vg7z

its not really a bog, its more of a stutter and the engine like misses or somethin...itll shake back and forth it acts like if i was steppin on the gas and letting off as fast as i could

i would check the ignition system, ie spark plugs, spark plug wires, dizzy cap and rotor. that was the problem on mine and it bogged like yours

vg7z

I had that problem once, it was a bad oxygen sensor. If you unplug the oxygen sensor and it stops doing it than you've found your problem.

Used to have the exact same problem and it was the o2 sensor!

Easiest way to check is to unplug the o2. You may throw a code, but you'll know if thats the problem and it doesn't cost a penny. Make sure you tie the harness away from the hot pipes or you'll be looking for a new harness after it melts :D

its probably the o2 sensor, cuz im runnin a dc 4-1 header and the o2 sensor is hooked up hella ghetto

It only takes 10 seconds to find out. Jack up, unplug, and tape your harness safely away from the exhaust pipes ...

Even the dealer couldn't figure out why my car was bogging since it wasnt throwing any codes, but it was the o2!
