Do you have a Durametric?
First off thank you so much for your help, not only is this a track weekend it's my first time trial so this is particularly painful. If the car experiences the bogging problem and you shut it off and then right back on and floor it, it bogs right back down. If you pull over and let the car sit (ON or off) for a couple minutes the bogging goes away for a few minutes. It really seems like the tank is unable to vent properly but I think running without a gas cap would fix that. I wonder if the tank can vent through the metal flap under the cap.

I didn't mention that at first when I ran the codes both the pre-cat O2 sensors were bad. I replaced them and didn't see any change. Do I need to reset the ecu?
