    Car choking

    So since I got my 7G i had this problem , when I drive normally I its all good but when I floor it cars chokes/shakes rmp is between 2 or 3 and it doesn't accelerate. If I i press gas gradually it goes up to red line but if I floor it i chokes and control light goes up its says its misfire , 1)Cables 2)Spark plugs 3)Fuel Filter 4)Injectors 1 year passed and I did all tune up parts plus fuel filter and checked injectors and still the car chokes when I floor it. Today i was talking to my friend who is a mechanic he said it looks like its Mass flow sensor or Mass flow adapter. He also told me to change air filter. I'm thinking about putting Short Ram Intake , I would also change that flow sensor and flow adapter but are those parts expensive? and also do you think it might be it? and third what are those things really doing? Maybe little lesson would be nice ;) Thanks!

    front o2 sensor is what you need replaced. the rear o2 sensor does not affect the fuel trims at all. its there to tell the ECu that he catl. converter is working
    God created turbo lag to give the v8's a brief moment of hope.

    Replace your MAF with a known working MAF...I believe this will solve your issue.

    That means that your O2 sensor is bad!!!! Change it.. Just becasue it sounds similar to your problem does not mean its the same exact problem!!!!! It could be a bunch of different things!!!!

    Yea dissconnect the back o2 sensor and then drive.. If it runs even worse or a new problem come about then its not the problem. But if you take it out and nothing changes then its time to replace it.. Also you can try the front o2 sensor...
