Ok well I noticed my car is bogging down to like 2900rpms when I shift into 2nd gear I know I have a bad o2 sensor drivers side downstream. Also I have no cats so the cel is on. It feel like my car loses a lot of power when I floor it from the start. I Don't know if it ever did this before cuz I don't drive it much and never beat on it. A little history about the car 57k miles flowmaster 40s, mac pro chamber h pipe....any ideas or tests I can do from my house??

i would get new spark plugs and throw those in, then if not i would invest in a Motorcraft or Napa set of plug wires, my car was doing the same, replaced the plugs wires and plugs, whole different car..

that was going to be my next guess was a problem with the injectors and make sure all your wires are pushed down i had one on mine when i bought the car that was not pushed down all the way and it acted like that

Ok well I checked my codes looks like one of my imrc's are stuck closed/open (code p1519) maybe its time to take the car to the shop to get ripped apart and fixed cuz this problem sucks. Also is cleaning imrc's a job you can do in your driveway?
