im having bogging problems on accel in first and second gear.thought it was driving habits but found out it wasnt.anyone else with simular issues and what kind of fix was done?

 

can you be more specific? when does it happen. randomly? when you shift? when you're cruising steady, then accelerate?

 

when shifting from a stop.looks like a rookie driver with a manual trans.

some days its fine and other days it makes you want to get rid of the car. its a 2007 with only 5000 miles on it

 

Mine jumps around when its not fully warm, going 1 to 2nd gear

 

maybe you just have to get used to it for a while longer? many, many people have a hard time getting used to the car, even people that have been driving manual for many years. the car has a weird clutch and takes some time to master.

are you letting the car warm up before driving? now that it's getting cold, if you're not, i would let the car get up to at least 100 before you start driving, and 150 before you start driving hard

 

Nah mine does it also. But only when its warm out. I thought it might be a fuel issue, or something with the tune. It only does it when the motors cold and when the weather is warm.

 

mine was doin that also, but when it was cold outside, and would usually only do it on first and second gear, and only the first shift in each gear, after that it'd do it no more..

 

mine's been a little weirder since it's gotten cold out. i think its belt slip. if your under acceleration and you're building boost, any belt slip will cause a power loss. it only tends to do this to me at first then goes away once everythings warmed up, so i'm not worried about it. cold can do funky stuff to your car sometimes!

 

its just the car in general. Has a little to do with temperature and just how well you know how to drive it. I've found that taking it to a higher rpm in first before shifting to second helps with the bogging that people experiance once they get into second gear.

 

change your sparkplugs
