I have an 03 SE with 179K miles. A few weeks ago it started bogging down when going 60+ mph when you got into it (WOT). It threw no codes when doing this. On a hunch I replaced the back bank cam sensor but obviously no change. The front cam sensor had been changed out a few months prior. After messing with it for a few weeks it stopped running, still no codes. I diagnosed it as a bad fuel pump, and after replacing it, it ran fine. On its maiden run it had no WOT issues but had the SES light on, which had not been on previous to the fuel pump failure. I had the codes pulled and got P1800, P0183, and P0463. I had them clear the codes and then took it onto a road where I could really get into, and it did great for a few minutes, then started to have the WOT again on the way back. It is not showing any codes now.

My question is, is this behavior consistent with VIAS issues? I hate to throw more money at the problem to find out that its not the issue. I could really use some help and direction on this one. I have searched but have been unable to find anything that matches this situation.

Thanks in advance for the help!!!!

No. This is not a VIAS issue. Car will run perfectly fine without the VIAS solenoid working at all. P1800 on 03? Get an Allen key and take off the engine cover. You will probably find that the rubber tubing to the VIAS solenoid has rotted. Quick fix. 0183 fuel level sensor, can be caused by running the car too low on fuel. P0463 check this.
