My car is runing like crap!
I haven't been back on here in months. My S is runing like shit! Only when I give it gas it starts to bog down. Now when I come to a stop, it will stall out on me. At first i thought it could be my fuel filter or pump so I started buying the 44 k to add in my tank. That didn't work so i bought the lucas fuel injection cleaner but, still runing the same. Does anyone know what i should do?

You may want to check and see if you have any ECU codes stored. Get an OBD-II scanner and see if you can find out what's going on. Is your check engine light lit? It should be if it's running that badly...If that's the case, the codes will be stored and that should point you in the right direction.
Once you get them, post them up here and we can try to figure out what's going on with it.
Also, how many miles are on it? Are there any mods that have been done to the car?

so your saying you havent driving your car in months?
Mabe you have some bad gas? my cars ran like crap too after I came back from the hospital. I was gone for about 4 months. but once I filled them up with gas and got all the fluids changed and drive them around for a while, they were as good as new!

Ok i came up with four codes but don't know what they mean. P0132, P0131, P0411, P0171. It's has 75k miles. Now someone told me that it could be the throttle body censor and/or MAP censor. What the heck are those. My car is runing like crap and the fuel eco. is poorly decreased. I use to get anything around 215-230 miles on a full tank. I'm lucky if i get even 170 miles to the tank. Have no idea what's wrong with my car it's very frustrating. The only mods i have are ram air intake, sturt bar, koni suspension. My check engine light has been lit ever since i put on the air intake. So...what do you all think?

I'd bet that something to do with the air pump is hooked up incorrectly when you installed the air intake. If correcting the vacuum lines and air pump lines going in and out of there and resetting the ECU doesn't fix it, then I'd consider looking at the MAF... Sounds to me like something didn't get hooked up right when the air intake was installed. Should be something simple.

P0171- Fuel system to lean
P0411-sedondary air injection system incorrect flow
P0131-Primary heated oxygen sensor(PrimaryH03S)(sensor 1) circuit low voltage
P0132-Primary heated oxygen sensor(PrimaryH03S)(sensor 1) circuit high voltage
careful, if your car is running lean it could be really bad.
