lately I have been had a problem trying to pass another car,car just bogs and a few sec later it goes..i could be in 2nd or 3rd..so annyoning,got new plugs ,wires,air cleaner is clean..any ideas?

 

Torque Converter could be locking up and not releasing properly. Are you manually in 2/3 on the shifter at the time? Or do you just know in overdrive what gear you are in?

Could be a clogging catalytic.

Those are common culprits on these cars.

 

X 2 when is the last time you changed the fuel filter? The Cat converter is something to check

 

X3with the potential clogging catalytic converter. Not throwing a code yet, but effecting your performance. Is your fuel consumption getting to be more than your old average?

 

I have a new cat..im getting about 22mpg between highway and regular roads..fuel filter I have to address cause its rusted on.might need a dorman kit..i am usually in 3rd on back roads..i just cleaned the MAF last night..will test today.
