Well i have just put a brand new alternator and such but i been having this problem ever since i installed my a/f gauge. When i start the car and take off in 1st or 2nd i can give full throttle and i notice the car struggles then jams but when i let the a/f gauge start working then do it i can take off fine this is a weird situation.
 
You're not trying to boost before the car is warmed up are you?

but when i let the a/f gauge start working
What exactly do you mean by this. Does the bogging only happen right after start? Warm or cold?

Sounds electrical. If it only work fine after the A/f gauge works then somethings is cross wired or what not. shorting out.
 
boosting? no boost 4g64 spyder n/t um well i think you guys made me realized about poor installition, when someone before told me to tap into the white wire of the o2 sensor located in the exhaust header i tapped into it but it was really the blue wire but anyway when i tapped into the correct wire i had to hurry up for a meeting and i forgot to electric tape the white wire that was stripped rather than tapped and i just taped them all together slap on the hand for me :notgood:

to wiseman nah dude im non-turbo sad to say but the problem is see might be electrical cause when i stripped (thats right stripped didnt have 3m scotch locks) into the white wire of the o2 sensor it was the right wire i was notified it was the blue i went ahead and tapped into the blue wire and it worked but i was in such a damn hurry that i hurryed up and just electrical taped the 2 wires together now the stupid part of me was that i didnt singlefy the white wire still stripped slap on the hand for me thanks for the feedback :thumb:
