I am going crazy with this problem! It has been to 2 shops and neither can figure out what the problem is. When you stomp on the gas to WOT the engine boggs down and nearly stalls. It gets so close to stalling you think its going to any second and never does. There is no check engine light or codes. When gradually accelerating its fine and will rev all of the way up but if you stomp the gas thats when it does it. The car has 19K on it, garage kept, never seen rain or snow, not a spec of rust and every part looks like it did when it came from the factory. It feels like it has a small misfire at idle and clears up when you gradually accelerate. When in gear it gets up to about 15 and then it feels like you turned the key off but doesnt completely stall out. If I hold the gas to the floor it will backfire once after about 15 seconds and then i let off and scratch my head some more. It seems like plenty of fuel and pressure is getting to the rail. I unplugged the line after the fuel filter and turned the key and seems like there is plenty of fuel coming out. The shops said they checked the pressure and had it on the scanner and check all the sensors, ignition and everything they could possibly think of and they say its all ok. I just dont get why it revs up fine when i gradually do it and every time i stomp on it, it immediately boggs down to the point where you can barely tell its still running. I thought it would gradually bogg down but no, i can rev it up to 4000 and then stomp it to the floor and feels like you turned the key off. One shop also replaced the computer and that didnt help. Then they thought the front cats were clogged so i ordered a y pipe with no cats and still nothing. ANY help would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks in advance.
