Code 22 wont cause your bog, it will just prevent spool valve engagement. Has anything on the car been changed just before this issue came up? Did you just recently put gas in the car and start having a problem? TPS sensor can cause similar issues but you should get a code for it.

put some Lucas non-petroleum-based injector cleaner into your tank and run that gas out. gas goes bad and does stupid **** like this. if you are going to leave your car to set up again for a long period, dump some Lucas fuel stabilizer in the tank and you might not have this problem again

get new gas.... siphon the old one out and put in new one, or at least dilute it with new gas. unplug your vtec solenoid and see if it still bogs too.
