It could be a fuel pump that is going bad, or the 02's had gone bad, or the cats are clogged, etc. Is the SES light on? If it is, have the car scanned for the code(s). Bob

is there any tune on it? sounds like it needs more fuel at WOT... may need the timing advanced a bit... depends on whats done to it.. and like he said above... could be O2's.

It should only give you a rear O2 code. My guess is check the fronts...

Check all the major sensors. The map sensor on the back of the intake has some vaccum lines to it that like to release themselves all the time.... At WOT it can bog out due to O2s being way off.... MAF sensor can sometimes make the car do funny things like no matter how far the gas is pressed it will never go past 45 or so... My guess is one of those... If you have a K&N filter or similar oil style filter may want to clean off the MAF with a little cleaner and be sure not to over oil it.....
