Bogging issue with my 92 ss 5mt. please help.

Post by LookAsubie »

Wasnt sure where to put this because i dont know whats causing the issue but this will do i guess.

So my car did this a few months back and then never did it again until now.

Lets say im just cruising in third gear and then then kinda romp on the gas. i can hear the turbo spool and everything but it just bogs and doesnt really go anywhere. i can mob on it being a little easier on the gas and it seems alright but if i give it too much gas it just bogs out.

And going up the hill out of town in 5th gear if i hold it at a steady speed it starts slowy losing power and speed, and if i give it more gas to try and speed up it just bogs and seems to go even slower. the exhaust gets louder but its just bogging and not making any power.

I replaced the fuel filter today but that didnt change anything, im just hoping someone can help me out soon cuz this is getting annoying.

Any ideas?

I have not, I believe they were pretty new when i bought the car about 5 months ago. they are NGK plugs and wires.

Check all your air intake/turbo output hose connections, I would get similar symptoms when my turbo outlet hose would work loose.

Could be a bad MAP too. If it bogs as soon as you hit positive pressure I bet it's the MAP sensor or a loose connection with the MAP.....
