Check the timing and the fuel filter(s).

i had thought about that but never swaped it..... i used the one from my dx dist. ???why would it run good at higher rpms if that is bad tho ???..ill swap it out tho

...if u nail the gas at idle when sitting still the car will bog at 1000 rmp then slowly build up till like 2500 or so then rev really fast like it should...and the car is also running rich(obviously cause the o2 sen wont work right..but thats the prob i dk why) :'(

Re:pls help car running like crap...
 

it could be too lean too, if it is perhapse the fuel pump is going out. are your spark plugs fouled?

Re:pls help car running like crap...
 

true i was having some slight detonation(it was backfiring threw the intake slightly) but it only does that at low rmp when its there all bogged down....d15 ran fine with pump but mpfi would take more fuel so sense im planning on turboing it if i ever get it to run right ill just up grade with a new one the plugs were black carboned up except for the top where they were white

Re:pls help car running like crap...
 

my car used to do that, i changed my fuel injectors and car ran great, SAME symptoms.

Hmmm, bogs low and okay up top....Think its worth a look to see if your Cam timing is a 'tooth' or two off.
