Dear carpros my car bogs out going up hill doesn't have that much power but drives wherever i want to go. The engine light sometimes comes on mostly going up hill but then it will turn off after alittle while.
When i put my ac on the car really has no power and dies out. Some people have told me its the fuel filter or the spark plugs I just have no idea help me out please! So I can save time and money!
Thank you

I had a problem simular to that with my 1999. I thought it may have been the spark plugs or fuel filter too, which by the way the only one on the darn thing is the sock on the fuel pump! Anyways, check your mass airflow sensor. If you dont know what that is look at your air intake and it sits right behind your air filter chamber. To check and see unplug it and drive a short distance to see if you have more power. If you do then youve found your problem, so plug it back up and head to the parts store!
