did you the throttle body mod by any chance, the mod where you remove the first set of secondary butterflies? a side effect of that mod is if the give it gas too quick, the motor could bog or stall.

Unplug the AFM. If it runs better, your AFM is the problem.

The AFM sends a signal to the ECU on how much air your motor is taking in. If it's unplugged, your car is basically running off a base map... sorta. It's not as efficient, but it'll run.

How's your idle air adjustment screw on the top of the throttle body? Has that helped at all?

How about the variable resistor? The 13B likes to run rich at idle, to help keep the idle stable.

the idle is awesome, and those adjustments only affect idle. im starting to suspect the ecu might be bad
