What would cause a car to bogg out around 3500+ rpms? When at low rpms it seems like its running fine, but when i step on the gas after 3500 it just makes a lot of noise but no pull?!?! What do you guys think it is. I'm guessing that my cat converter is starting to get plugged. I don't think its the spark plugs or wires. The exhaust fumes are bad, like not burning all the fuel or running very rich. I have a stock 99hatch, which direction should I go with this?

THANKS for your help

you might have water in the engin take it up real slow in 1st and take it up to like 6 or 7 and hold it there for like a min. it should clear any thing out that is in there. that is how i fixed my eg i had the same problem. either that or some how your ecu went into safe mode

So how does one get water in their engine?
