my car boggs out
i did some searching and thanks to this post right here it led me into the right direction.
so my cel was on and off for about a week straight and it finally turned off
it said it was running lean. and it hasn't turned on since... although since the night i bought the car driving home. it bogs out, i'll be driving, from 1st to second it bogs and slows down, or sometimes its from 2nd to 3d
its not all the time, its only some time
does it sound like a bad o2 sensor?
maybe bad spark plugs?
dirty injectors?
EDIT: also....somthing that you might want to know..i have a cracked header... could this be the cause of anything?

had this problem a few months ago... let my car sit around for 6 months then when i started running it.. started bogging down when trying to accellerate..
usually just needs a tune up.. i started with the plugs and it made the car driveable again.. then i changed the plug wires and the thing runs again like new.. distributor cap still needs replaced though

start cheap..
if u need a tune up.. do the spark plugs and wires first.. my car was bogging down when trying to accelerate but eventually would come back in higher rpms... but then the age of my plugs and wires eventually took its toll and the car just wouldn't accelerate ... i fixed it just by changing these...
otherwise it could be the rest of your ignition system (distributor cap) or the fuel filter (which isn't that hard to change at all)
I also have a cracked header but it doesn't hurt performance.... just makes noise when the engine is cold.
