Help meh please.

ExTREME · 12-23-2006

When I'm driving at low speeds it seems to studder, and/or bog down. Then when I get on the gas a bit it seems to bog then go up. Also, when I'm idling if I rev it up a little bit it seems to bog then go up and then when I let off the throttle it drops way down and almost dies. I don't sit there and wrap the piss out of it to sound cool, I just did it to test it out and it does almost die and it seems to pause. Is this a spark problem? Fuel pressure? Vaccum leak?
Thanks

i would say maybe boost leak/exhaust leak.
.02 cents

+1 for the boost leak test.

What are you running for plugs and wires?

ExTREME · 12-23-2006

Ran the wrong plugs for a day, (BPR8ES). Not too sure how I aquired them but they were in there. Swapped them to BPR6es and some 8mm Accel wires. Going to order some 7mm NGK wires. Looking for a deal on them today, I'm at work and searching for a deal, I need to save my money to fix other things.

Doesnt sound like a plug issue, but check all the gaps on the plugs and wires just to be safe. I would go with the crowd on this one, check for a boost leak.

Also, the thought of a fuel issues isnt a bad one, but usually a fuel issue will worsen as the RPM goes up. You need more fuel as the load increases up the powerband.

BPR7ES is your friend if you are running more than stock levels for boost.

Check your timing,i gnition and belt.

It was a bad leak from the Stock 1g mani. to the 02 housing. I could see the exhaust in the morning when starting it up coming through where the gasket is. I tightened it up a bit, fixed it. +1 for leak test!
Thank you everyone who helped!
