my car was doin this, sounds like an injector is going out or your not getting spark, heres now to tell:

1. start the car2. pull plug wire 1, see if theres a difference, if so replace the wire and keep going through 2-4, 3. once you find the plug that doesnt make the car bog, push the wire back onto the plug and pull the corresponding plug off the dist, hold it close to the hole and see if theres a spark, if theres spark you know its fuel, if there isnt you know theres no spark.4 take off your ful rail, place paper under each injector and turn the car over, just a lil5 look at the papers, see if theres 4 small circles, if not then you know where your not getting fuel6 if there is then go back to that plug that didnt make the difference in the motor( ie the way it sounds will change and itll shake more thats what i mean by difference) pull that plug and see if its sparking

that should be it but if you find that that plug has spark it just means its a soft spark and you need to do a tune up. ie plugs wires cap rotor and fuel filter for good measure

actually i took off all my emissions and its alot better!!! but still from 2500 to 3100 its still a lil lazy but mid to top rpm the power band is great.. still drifts pretty good, i guess because the rpm is allways above 3100
