K i tried to look through a bunch of forums on here before i opened a new one to try to solve the problem i have but no luck. So heres the issue, My silvia will randomly bogg out on me. it will drive perfect for days, then randomly (usally when im at idle at a light) the engine will just bogg down to the point where i have to give it gas or else it will stall… it’s been doing this on and off for a little bit now… I’ve changed the fuel filter and cleaned the air filter (getting a new one asap) but it still will RANDOMLY do it… then stop it the next time i drive it for days on end? Does anyone know what this could be ? or give me some suggestions? Thanks in Advance ---

you can buy electric contact clearer from canadian tire or any radio shack ect to clean the sensor. just dont touch it with any cloth or something that will leave a resedue. i just cleaned mine last week. ---

Venting will make it run pig rich unless you have the appropriate managenent to prevent this. If not, everything could just be getting fouled and plugged full of carbon. ---

Now its starting to do it sometimes while im in first and second gear a little bit… just bogg on me a tiny bit… any other thoughts? ---

ignition breakup? at higher rpm’s my car felt like it was bogging/misfireing and it also had a lumpy idle at first startup (cold/warm did not matter) it also stalled out on me a few times if i had it at a high rev and then took it out of gear (ie to stop at a light) I changed all 4 of my coilpacks with a set of used ones i had and bingo problem solved ---

it doesnt really feel like its misfiring cause when i give it a good shot of gas when it does that it just cleans right up… anyway i can tell if its the coilpacks without just replacing them ? ---

Could be yoru sending unit. thats what happend to me a few weeks back, It stopped running, So i had to replace the sending unit, and i also replaced the fuel pump and filter at the same time. But i still have an idle probelm as well ( not as noticable) every couple days instead of at every light. ---
