Bogging and backfire

[SeanCollins]

So first thing in the morning I will go to start the car and it will crank and turn over but if I don't continue to give it gas it will die out. Also when cruising in any gear around 25% throttle trying to hold a steady speed it will bog unless I give it some gas or let it off completely. I am going to change the fuel filter tommorow any other suggestions??

Sounds like its a bad MAF or a bad ECU. Try unplugging the MAF. Does it make it run any different? Do you have a check engine light on?

Backfire could be causeed by a missing exhaust gasket..But if it's chugging change the fuel filter..

Changed the fuel filter and it seemed to run alot better but still when trying to cruise on the freeway at like 65-70 in 5th It starts to almost sputter also in other gears at around the same RPM band 23-2700 and yea I have a CEL but I don't know anyone with the right scanner the previous owner said it was because of the ac delete and no cat

All you need is a 12 volt light to pull the codes. It's not hard at all. Having no cat and the A/C deleted wont give you a CEL. At least mine has not. I would also check you gas tank. They tend to rust on the top and I have seen some with holes on the top that clogged fuel filter strainers.
