my car is doing the same thing and what i did earlier was adjust the timing. it seemed to help a little. try hookin a timing light up to it and see if it is within spec.

its the ecu. get the pg7 or a pm7, preferably the pm7 its the stock one for that motor. or chip to a pm7 program.

after i swapped that happened to me. it feels like the gas just shut off or the clutch just engaged by itself. after i changed my ecu to a pm7 everything was great. pulls hard and great with gas.

since you just fiddled with your tps i would think that is the problem.
sometimes the voltage reading wires are reversed on the tps.
when you open the trottle all the way, you should be reading 5.0 volts or something close with a voltometer.
if its backwards you will start at 5 volts and go down from there, causing the bog...
just depending on where you got the new tps from this may be the issue.
the fix might be as easy as switching the two outer wires connected to the tps.


hope this helps

yeah it goes on but the holes for the bolts should have oval notches this way as your reading it with the voltometer, you can slide it back and forth to get it right.
its just a tiny amount of movement but it makes all the diff

hey people well what i thought was wrong i still come across this backfiring bogging problem any other ideas changed tps adjusted it changed spark plugs and still on down pipe but peeps say it should bogg like it does the only way to stop the bogging is to push the clutch in otherwise car will just jump like crazy but its weird what yall think i guess ima just get a map sensor
