Pull the code? Sounds like maybe the fueling is either too lean or too rich for that gear/rpm combination, causing misfires. If you have one, whats your afr gauge saying when this happens?

might be picking up a missfire due to the load placed and the fuel you are inputting

Hm. I cant seem to pull the code because my ecu is chipped and i think its blocking the diagnostic features. i might have to borrow a fresh ecu for a few minutes to figure it out. i know its not the map because i replaced it.

try unplugging the EGR... then take it for a spin... ur CEL will be on but just see of the bogging helps. The EGR will cause bogging. It happened to me

no no no... for example keeper.. take your car and throw it in 2nd gear and come off a light. you feel like it luggs on the motor right? if i do this in higher gears for whatever reason my CEL will come on.

You can check codes with a chipped ECU. Green connector just above the ECU, stick a looped paperclip in both and turn the key to "on." If you get a solid cel you have no codes, if you get blinks count them. long blink = 10, short blink = 1.

Have you had the car fully tuned or is it just running on a basemap?

o ok... not too sure... i am guessing its your fuel as well. I have a few ECUs laying around. You can come by and throw one in and see if it helps.
