problems with new car, bogging down
problems with new car, bogging down got a 96 t/a and previous owner said it was having some prblems with the egr but he also told me all of it was deleted out...anyways the car was running fine then just quit....you go to crank it and it does nothing but trys to turn over..NO FIRE....if you gas it it will halfway run, smoking like hell, choppy then bogg itself down..if you try to ease out of the clutch it will bogg down...any ideas..i need to get this thing off the side of the road!!!
I had a similar problem with mine...was running like **** with similar problems that you described. In the end it was a $8 part from O'Reilly. I believe it was the coolant temperature sensor (the one that mounts on the water pump) anyway, I replaced the connector and it solved my problem. Good luck

It sounds like the opti. When 1 of my optis went out, it just died on the freeway. When I got it in the garage at home, it would just crank but never turn over. If I applied some throttle, it would kind of start, and chug a bit, then die again, all the while the garage was being filled with white smoke.
ok a little update...car still running like ****...i unplugged the maf with the car running and it cleared up and seems to be running fine with the occasional pop, i guess where the maf is unplugged...thing is i tried another maf from another one of my cars and it starts acting retarded again and running rough...any suggestions???

Mine did the exact same this past spring. Ran like poop, smoked like hell, hard to start, and stalled when I put it in gear. Ended up being bad gas. Put a 5 gallon container of Premium, ran like a raped ape!
Could be condensation from in the tank at the gas station(in ground). Especially being that there has been a few very cold nights, atleast here there has been. Its possible, not likely, but very possible. There is a gas station by me that I wont go to because my car almost always runs like crap on their gas, especially when its cold at night. Good luck.
