Random Bogging, Died On Highway

sonic_mikey,Feb 24 2010, 12:54 PM Wrote:so yesturday im driving in downtown TO to go pick someone up that i know at geroge brown college. I start the car, put her in gear and go. Then she starts almost chugging, 1500 rpm drops to 1200, then power comes back, keep goin to 2500 then drops to 2000 and continues on like this. Idle was junk, keeped bouncing around below normal then slightly above and it didnt want to settle down (it does this sometimes in cold weather but ony for a second), and the battery light would fliker on. I park the car, leave it for an hour, come back and bam, runs mindy fresh like theres no problem.

Then today im driving to school and all is good. I figure ill bring her up to 140-150km and keep it there for a bit. Then all of a sudden it dies, I pull over wait 10 seconds and start her up......again runs mint, drove the rest of the way with no issue! Im thinking its a sensor starting to go. I have an AEM CAI and CFM throttle body installed, anybody ahev any thoughts?
