I just got back from a 4 hour trip to lake george and as i got within like 2 miles of my house i had no power when i was accelerating. It bogs big time when i get on the gas now and has no power at all. Its my DD so i need to fix it asap. Any ideas?

check your maf and cop's or coilpacks depending on what you have. a buddy of mine had the same problem and his intake manifold was cracked and leaking coolant into one of the spark plugs areas causing it. (also caused it to f up something coil or plug or something around there)

theres alot of things that could be causing it, buy a chiltons manual.

Your car has coil packs on it, it takes alot for them to go bad but they do sometimes. Also check your plug wires for cracks or frays. I would also start the car in a dark spot and see if there is any spark coming from the wires. If so replace them with the MSD or FMS wires the Bosch and Accel wires suck @$$ and the accel like to jump spark from wire to wire. Not a big prob with the 4.6L but it was on the 5.0L.

I cleaned the maf and its fine. I have a chiltons manual. And i was hoping my intake wasnt cracked cause it happened to me when it was npi

I would start with plugs and wires--how old are they, what sort of plugs?

the plugs and wires are fairly new. Like within a year. Its not doing it anymore. I might pull the plugs and check the gaps though.

Mabey you had bad gas... or, was anyone in the car with you? Is it possible they were pulling up on the e-brake with out u knowing? Odd i know but i have heard of it before. when was the last time you changed your fuel filter?
