my car is bogging

My car is bogging when i try to accelerate from a stop and or below 5mph roll.

it does not bog when above say 10mph and also does nor bog when revving in neutral or park.

when at idle in drive my rpms are at 550 in drive with brake applied and bogs from 550 - 900 or so then is fine after 1000+

Any suggestions?

Air mass meter common problem. Clean like the guys have said or replace if it looks bad.

what is weird to me is if I am stopped and quickly but lightly push to gas pedal the car bogs and i have also had my foot on the brake and tapped the gas while in drive ( just a quick push) and it bogs. I should make a vid. BUT this bog does not occour in park or Nuetal? y

Check the TPS, make sure the sweep is linear with no dead or uneven sports at partial throttle.

Also make sure you don't have any air leaks, I had a problem with the lower half of the airbox. That plastic pipe that goes on top of the radiator.

Hmm, I can only say do a tune up if you haven't already. Oil change and reset the ecu then check for any codes after driving a bit

Check Throttle position sensor (TPS). U can also try cleaning your grounds as well.

Have u cleaned the TB and MAF?

EDIT:

Its affected in while in drive cuz the motor has a load on it, namely because its in gear. WHen u arent in gear there is no load on it and the engine can rev more easily.

Since the car isnt affected in park or neutral, i think u have either a grounding or air issue. CLean TB and MAF. Clean grounds. Check IACV and TPS per FSM. If u need the FSM, download it from fallenone's signature.
