This problem just started recently maybe like 4-5days ago when i first noticed it i was like ehhh engine error proble wont happen again, but it did and it keeps bogging out when the especially when the car is about 120degree's and below u really notice it. When i step on the gas the car bogs and goes no were it seems like there is no gas getting into the engine i put it in first gear and nothing works it just keeps bogging barley moving :( the only possible problem i think it can be is my O2 sensor, it has been shot ever since i put on the turbo manifold i dropped a bolt down the exhaust (got it out though) but in the process of getting the bolt out i was hitting the o2 sensor alot that pissed it off and gave me a service engine light and its been on for a good 3 months now cause im to lazy to fix the o2 sensor. Is my o2 sensor shot to the point i cant put this off anymore, is that why my car is bogging out ?

Fuel filter is about 2 months old
 
I had that problem also but mine was because of a boost leak..it was not as bad as your porblem sounds. I would start with the o2 sensor then work up from there. check compression, spark, check for boost leaks...just try to narrow it down. you will find it..I swore up and down I did not have any boost leaks...till my dad found it I was like :barf: I feel stupid
 
compression was

180, 185, 178, 191

well as soon as i get my 1g im pulling my engine so i can rebuild it and hopefully have no problems with the car for awhile :p god damn o2 sensors in NJ cost around 68bucks, i may take a Trip trip to PA get one there for 35
 
i took the rape price for a universal bosch for 71 bucks, most places wanted 110, advanced auto wanted 71. since ive got money to piss away i said what the hell i gotta get to college somehow tommrow, installed it no more service engine light and runs alot better but i got a problem, my air/fuel gauge i turn the car on it reads for like 4 seconds and than it goes directly to rich and stays there solid 1 box, i dunno if its ####ed up or if im burning rich LOL i dont smell anything so im gonna say its my air/fuel gauge is ####ed up. hopefully LOL
 
It might be because of the new sensor, put a few miles on the sensor and see what happens....It may say your running rich but like you said it did not smell like it. no nock I hope, I would wait about 50miles if it is still reading that try diconnecting your Air/Fuel gauge and the hook it back up...still a problem I would just spend the cash get a new gauge and see what happend if there was still a problem I would 1st :barf: then I would run :cry: ing to my dad because he always finds the problem...shows how pathetic I am..LOL :p
