Car bogging. . . need suggestions please!
So im having problems with the car bogging at low rpms. Its skips and misses and bogs bad at low rpms but pulls out of it at high rpms. Pulled out all the coils to make sure there was no water. Cleaned the MAF. Any suggestions? Its having trouble starting too. A tech friend said it might be the Idle air. . . What do you guys think?

I am going through the same thing. The first thing ive found is I have an oil leak on to one of my spark plugs. I thought it was the fuel pump so I replaced that and the filter and it's still doing it so thats why I feel that oil leak may be the big problem.
Id say check the plugs to see if any have oil on them. My moms boyfriends stang has the same problem as well and he had the same oil leak.

try disconnecting your battery. you sure theres no CEL? last time this happened to me i had a CEL with a misfire in number 3 cylinder. i left the battery terminal off over night and it ran fine the next day. i think its only like 30 seconds to clear the ecu but whatever i wasnt goin anywhere
