when i floor my car and i get the 3rd gear it boges down alittle then kicks back in also last night when i did this my check engine light flashed and now its on. any ideas on what is wrong?

 

I am having the same problem, check your coolant sensor to make sure you have a green one, then check for any vac leaks, and finally change your spark plugs. Also what mods do you have and what does your boost gauge look like? If you dont have a boost gauge then you need to get one.

 

mine did that when i had a bad maf... switched the maf and it went away now my maf is bad again so it gets boggy at times

 

Sounds like the MAF sensor, I had the same problem.

 

Unplug the maf and if the problem goes away then you have a bad maf. Also check theignition coils.

 

ok im going to try this tomarow. I dont have my boost gauge installed yet but that should be installed by next week

 

ok i unpluged the maf sensor the car did run alittle better but it still studders alittle at the higher rpms but not as bad as before

 

ok so I installed a boost gauge im only holding like 5 psi. I was told that it could be my o2 sensor but is there a way i could know for sure?
my car idles wierd it will go up and down

 

take it to autozone and have them scan for codes. That will help define the problem

 

Studdering and flashing CEL is usually due to a misfire. Possibly coil pack or plug. Do as CincyTT suggests and take it to Autozone. If you have a misfire the code will be in there when they read it. Post back here the results and we'll go from there.
