    well you will be able to see it on the exaust if you look down at the headers, just follow that wire to the connector and its a twist type connector , so just undo it and run the car and see if it runs better. This procedure will put the car into a open loop I believe and will rely on MAF and RPM and has a default mode it will go into.

      it wouldn't be the o2 senser, the DME ignores o2 data at WOT by design

      its running rich as hell, so check/swap out the AFM and FPR

        The AFM is the Air Fuel Meter right? Otherwise called the MAF? Sorry i'm so new to this shit.

        Where is the FPR located?

        Good advice too, thanks!

          MAF and AFM are two different things. The fuel pressure regulator is located on the RETURN side of the fuel rail. its got a vaccume hose stuck to it.

              AFM = Air Flow Meter


              the afm is the metal box in between the air intake boot and the air filter. It's metal with a black plastic square on it and a wire coming out of it.

              I would take the air intake assembly out. Replace the filter and clean the throttle body. Clean the connections on the plug to the AFM and wipe out any gunk you see inside the AFM itself on the flap. Replace your plugs and possibly your fuel filter. All of these are relatively low cost replacements and will help you to narrow down your problem.
