First Car problem encountered....
Hello Dfw my name is Steven, I just purchased a 2000 Gwp S2000. I've ran into my first problem as of last night. I was getting in my car and put the car in first gear and as I was driving, It started to bog around 2000-3000k. its a hard bog. But after that it drives fine. The previous owner put a fujita cai and made the fitment smaller so the filter sits right behind the radiator fan. So today i went ahead and changed out the plugs ju a best to see if maybe it was the plugs. It wasn't so then I put on the stock air intake on (the top vacum hose is to small where can i get a bigger one?) This still didnt fix the problem. I did the map whack too. What can it be? any advice? New map sensor? oyea my check engine light came out cause i cant fit one of the vacum hose on.

well.. gotta leave the battery off for 10 mins or so to reset it.. definately get that vacuum hose on.. go run the codes at autozone to just to make sure.. the bog seems like your in limp mode.. so id check for vacuum leaks also

Mine seems to be doing that a little bit but after seeing numerous threads on bog i figured it was just this texas heat...s's are known for having bog issues in heat esp with the ac on. I am running a k&n fipk intake and greddy dual exh. One solution i have heard a little bit about is to do the hood vent mod (which i will be doing soon) or get a vented hood to allow heat to escape engine bay.

mine does a little bog when starting from a stop. it gets a little noticable when i have the a/c on. but my solution is to rev couple seconds before it turns green. supposed to be 96 here...
