Bogs down??

I don't understand it yet but so far I think it's only been happening on the lower half of my tank.......i goto put the throttle down to the mat and for a second or so it like bogs down, i lightly lift off the throttle and change gears and lightly go back on the throttle and work it to the floor and it doesn't do it...............loose charge piping? something to do with DI and the lower half of the tank not sufficient to give full throttle potential???

I don't suppose you're turning at all, are you? It drives me nuts (with TC on) putting my foot down -- even very mild steering inputs -- and the torque management just takes all the fun away.

I could turn TC off, but staring at that yellow light while driving would be even more annoying plus it's good to have in the rain, and something catches you by surprise....

I have always wondered about the theory that a low tank of gas causes the pcm to reduce max power.I think it's bs but maybe it's harder on the fuel pump.Today,i had less than an 1/8 tank and this car roared at full throttle when i pushed it for a change to shut all my work buddies up,lol.

He is probably right there is a lot of torque management when turning. When you are in
1st gear or 2nd there is more torque management than in third or higher.
